I dont think replacing the brake lines is necessary. I have 220,000 miles on mine. However, I just bought Brembo cross drilled rotors off ebay for $150. When I do that, I'm also replacing the brake lines with Braided Stainless Steel ones. Its not necessary, but it does make a difference. I got the brake lines for $70 for the front only.
I got them from buybrakes.com. I wouldnt recommend them, because their website says that everything ships from their NC shop, but it took 12 days for me to get the brake lines and I have yet to get the brake pads. I ordered it all on Feb 16. Otherwise, if you dont mind waiting, the price is good.
I also heard that the cross drilled rotors make more noise when braking, this is the first time for me, so I dont know that for a fact.
My opinion is to go ahead and replace the brake lines with braided stainless steel, and use a good brake fluid like redline. Its nothing to replace them. |
