I think you answered your own question ;)

Ebc was the best core a long time and they are still considered top drawer.I personality use cl which leaves a residue which causes dumb dumbs to accuse you of having a bad rotor...:lol:

Oh yeah SS lines are awesome. Had them on the 9R and the chopper. My ultra has some wierd re-enforced line. Looks kinda like black kevlar, which I'm sure is cause of the ABS.

EBC's are crap for the track or the street as far as longevity goes. The CL's are better but still don't last as long as the OEM's and I couldn't really tell the difference in stopping power or feel on the track...

Not to piss on your thread, but I put steel lines on my SV as well as on 2 different cars, and didn't notice a significant difference.

My 05 R6 had the best brakes I've ever owned, and they were totally stock -- stock pads, stock lines.

I don't know what bike your riding, but after lines and pads, You might think first about a radial master cylinder up grade. M Generation 1 Hayabusa brakes were adaquate, did lines better, EBC Pads, a little Better. I was pricing out calipers and mounts when a friend suggested the Brembo Radial Master cylinder up grade. What a huge Difference! and parts were $350

It was larger but the big difference came for the fact that the Gen 1 Busa's had a conventional master Cylinder and the Brembo is Radial Cylinder. A lot of guys with Gen one Busa's are now using B-King Radial Master Cylinders (cheaper I guess) If your Bike is already using a Radial Master Cylinder the benefit may not be there, if you aren't what a Difference!

I noticed a huge difference when I put the Galfer braided lines on my TL. I wonder if the radial MC from a B-King will retro to my TL since they share parts with Busas?
