Awesome info guys! Thanks!

There's a local fitting shop here that I can get steel braided lines made from. I recently bought 6 feet of 1/4" steel braide line for $30. :goodjob:

They made me a 1.5' line for my oil press. gauge recently for about $8 with the fittings. I'm going to get my lines from them.

I think I'll pick up the blanks from the group buy above and go with soem of the GT Sports. I'm getting so tired of brake fade and the peddal shudder I get from the brakes I have now.

I have Brembo x-drilled/slotted stock replacements up front with all AEM/Nissin pads. The pads have lasted a REALLY long time, but they just can't handle the fast braking I have to do when I get done with my runs. I trap about 115 mph and have about 1/8 mi. to slow down to make the u-turn. I sometimes worry that I won't be able to slow down in time. :nervous:

I'll put these components together and let you know what I think. I'll probably be putting together a DIY on the teg upgrade.

Thanks again everyone!
