Russell SS Brake lines

[GOLDENPONY]

I am planning a brake job/upgrade in the near future. I am planning to install EBC "Greenstuff" pads and maybe (haven't decided yet) Powerslot rotors. I just received a 4 wheel set of Russell SS brake lines to put on and they are SWEET! Very high quality stuff. Has anybody installed these brake lines? How did you like them?

I installed the Russell's SS brake lines and speed bleeders about a month ago on my 02 vert. I love the set up. Being able to bleed the brakes by myself was nice. The only problem I had was re-using the original banjo bolts. The original copper washers had obviously been compressed too tightly around the banjo bolts. I had to use my vise to hold the washers while I unscrewed the bolts from them. The bolts had some of the grooves flattened but not so bad I couldn't re-use them. I checked for leaks every day for a couple of weeks. There is a lesson here, order new banjo bolts before you do this type of mod...

Thanks for the heads up on the banjo bolts.
