After Installing.....Russell's SS Brake line kit, I notice less Travel in the Pedal when Braking and A Much Firmer Feel in the Pedal When Braking.....For me it was/has been Worth the $$$.

I installed StopTech SS lines, BIG difference in pedal feel. Then of course I killed the brake master and never got it working right again.

I would look toward the Hydroboost. I got everything for the install for about $230.
