Brand: BMD
Price: $120 each (price altered by Group Buy)
Purchased From: BMD http://www.bmdperformance.com/
Installation: Installed them myself with power tools on a 25 ton lift (it's meant for Mack Trucks )
Installation Time: 2 hour
Any Installation Tips You Have: Double check your work, take it for a quick test drive and make sure the angles are correct on the cables so they don't rub against the rims. if they do rub, the vinyl coating will protect the steel for a few minutes, however if the vinyl peels the lines are still perfectly fine.
Review:
I figured after a few weeks now of having the BMD Stainless Steel Brake lines that I would make a review of the product in the standard that normally applies to reviews on this forum. After countless "close calls" over the past few weeks with moron NJ driver's on Route 17 in the Secaucus/Newark area I must contest that these lines definitely help with braking harshly. A few times in the past I remember vividly braking hard and thank god I have Michelin tires because if I didn't I'd have totaled my G6, however with there lines and the brake line fluid replacement to ATE Super Blue I've been able to harshly brake back to back with full confidence. The brake fluid I had in the past would start to feel spongy after back to back harsh stops in NJ on Garden State during rush hour (again moron drivers in BMW's and Audi's that don't know how to freaking drive!!!) now the feel is gone and I love it.
I will also contest that the "firmness" in the braking really helps with power braking into turns at high speeds, the soft feel of the brakes has been eliminated.
Now I will contest that I did my upgraded my braking system in one fell swoop about 3 weeks ago when I replaced my R1 Concepts Eline from rotors with the Premium Series in the front, installed Hawk HPS performance brakes on all four corners, flushed my brake system twice with ATE Super Blue and to top it off I installed the BMD SS brake lines. I feel it's only fair to point out these brake lines aren't a miracle component however in the eyes of people that looks for every possible performance and safety attribute for a car these "performance" brake lines surely make a difference; in my case the difference is felt and appreciated.
I highly recommend these brake lines to curious and skeptical buyers. Bryant's (BMD) products are high quality and well worth the investment.
