I have a 2007 550I 6sp and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with upgrading their brake lines to stainless steel braided brake lines? I was considering Stoptech. Any suggestions? Brands to stay away from?

thanks in advance

 

I don't know of any brands to stay away from, however, I have used Stoptech and Goodrich in the past with fantastic results. SS brake lines will give you the feel of a BBK without the cash outlay and they WILL improve performance of the brakes greatly. No matter which ones you choose you should be in for a big change in your brakes. Good luck

Not really worth it on the E60 unless they are dry rotting and need new ones

There will be slight better feel on the pedal but not worth the $$ spent.

Those who feel significant increase in better pedal feel, they must have bled the OLD system w/ a LOT of VAPOR on their brake fluid.
Obviously, when you switch from old fluid (even new car comes w/ months year old of fluid) to new fluid then you feel better.

I swapped, 1 week old fluid w/ rubber line to SS line before and rebled and I could only feel a very slight better feel on pedal.

For the $$$ and time spent it's probably not worth it

Little off topic but on the main page when you look to see the last thread under E60 discussion this topic came up as" Stainless steel braided bra..." it cuts off the rest lol I was like wth?

 

I was looking for the BRAs too!! (not to wear haha)

thats great... Basically I am looking to have constant braking performance. I do track the car and safety is always an issue. Stop tech pricing from HMS motor sports was great... forgot to ask about my car club discount...
