I got them with my 13" Mach 1 kit but i didn't install them at the time because I thought they were the incorrect lines.

Anyway, the install was easy. Took more time to pull the wheel off.

Pedal feel was better. I mean it wasn't a huge increase or anything but i could def feel a difference under braking. It felt more responsive.


I know the rears don't flow as much fluid and see as much pressure, but does anyone make 99-04 rear SS lines???

Mustang5L5... I did an ebay search for you, along with a google search. It seems a lot of places are selling Russell brand SS brakelines, but unfortunately I can only find the fronts+rear kit (can't buy rears separately). But this will work out, just sell the fronts from the kit, I'm sure someone out there is on the hunt for a good deal on SS lines for their front brakes. Here's a link for you:
Russell SS lines @ ebay

~$130 after shipping for the set of 4 lines.

Thanks

However after reading the description it says it's for 99-04's WITHOUT ABD or TC.

My car has ABS/TC. I don't know what the differences are so i'll have to see if they make a kit for ABS cars

EDIT: nevermind, i found a kit for ABS cars. It's actually cheaper than non-ABS for some reason.

Ok good, I didn't see it was for cars w/o ABS. Pointed you in the right general direction though
