Anyone install SS-braided brake lines?

I am looking for a set to install on my Camry to improve brake feel.

I finally found a place that sells a kit for the 4-cyl model (rear drum brakes).

http://www.techna-fit.com

Anyone install SS-braided lines before and did the brake feel really improve?

Thanks,

yup...night and day.

only thing being that, for people w/o ABS, you have to be careful when you slam on the brakes, as they will make it easier for you to lock up your brakes

I have them on my Corolla.... it stiffens up the pedal quite a bit and I also noticed the brakes were a lot more resistant to fade when paired with a high performance brake fluid.

yeah it's just about everything... that you can buy at an autoparts store.
short of bigger brake rotors, bigger/better calipers, master cylinder upgrades, pedal change, and any other more SERIOUS brake upgrades...

don't try to be a smart ass... im talking about the best quality REPLACEMENT parts, not SERIOUS performance upgrades...

im not trying to ass rape anyone here... i just want to get the point across that there are more options out there if you are seriously into the performance of your car.
you can spend money on bullshit that won't help you at all, or you can spend money on stuff that will give you results.

joey... stick with photoshopping signatures and avatars and stuff cause those images in your photobucket are amazing... leave the automotive performance to people that care about that. if you are here to speculate on things that you dont have a clue about, shut your mouth. however, if you are here for information to improve or maintain your toyota, then stick around and learn some things...
Just be careful whos posts you trust as fact, because most people just regurgitate things that they might think are fact.
