Thanks man. So that's the kit I want that comes w/ the rear hoses as well? Reason I'm asking is apon doing research ie google, I came across a forum thread where a guy was told that the rear hose was a hard line and not rubber. But I believe the guy was inquiring about hoses for a fox mustang and I wasn't sure if the sn95's were the same.Russell's make quality fittings. I can't imagine their brake lines being any different. You'll certainly get more pedal feel with the stainless lines.
thanks manRear lines are rubber.
Left right and center for the rear.
I have the full Russell set (thanks SableSal !) On my 94 gt with cobra front and rear brakes.
Definitely better pedal feel.
Yeah thats what I'm thinkinThat 5 piece kit is definately the way to go. I bought mine when they only offered the 3 piece kit, so I still have rubber lines going from the axle to the rear calipers. If you are going to do it, you might as well do all of them. Chances are, with the car being as old as it is, the factory lines are due for replacement anyway.

wasn't $85 was it?I have the Maximum Motorsports 5 piece kit that are made by StopTech, very high quality kit.

Sounds like a good deal for ya. I think I'm gonna opt for the cheaper this go round, well most go rounds it seems.No, it was a lot more. But MM is local to me and since my work's sister store is the dealer that supplies all of their OEM Ford parts I get a good price.
I priced replacement rubber hoses and saw the dramatic difference in price, like $15 per hose. Would steel/teflon really make that much a difference?Russel usually makes a product that fits really well. The annoyance comes when you have to start modding bracket locations so the lines don't rub on the wheels....like on my Aerospace kit.

Yeah I was kind of wondering if the stainless hoses are the "cold air intake" of the braking system, metaphorically speaking that is. You know when people say "I put on the cai and I felt better throttle response".... and so forth. I dunno maybe I'll get em maybe not.The short answer...yes. When you dive on the brakes hard, or even brake aggressively with rubber hoses, they tend to "swell" momentarily, reducing line pressure and therefore force being applied to the caliper piston. The effect becomes ever more pronounced during repeated braking, when the fluid heats up and the hoses soften even further. This is one of the reasons brakes can feel "spongy" after repeated stops.
You'll notice better (less spongy) pedal feel as well as more consistent stopping power with the braided brake hoses. By no means will the dramatically improve an inferior braking system like the one found on the stock Mustang (more so with the Fox body brakes), but it will remove that limitation in the system and you will notice a difference.
