I notice a difference on my 250r, the cr250 master cylinder was the much bigger improvement.

Well.... Hook us up with the links there bro??... I'd love a set for the 350X for a decent price. The only ones I found were 100$ for the front and rear. Realistically, that isn't a bad price but cheaper is always better.....:w00t:

this is the guy i got them from. he makes the length you need for the same price and if you need multiples just double the price i had a 48" front and a 39" rear made for $67.10 shipped to my door.

This place has decent prices on brake lines. Never dealt with them before though.

As far as how they effect performance, steel braided brake lines do not flex or swell when you run pressure through the line like a rubber line will. What you feel when using them is basically more stopping power with less pull. To put it another way, pulling in the brake lever one third with a braided line would be like pulling it in two thirds with a rubber line.

thats cool, the $50 was retail, i work at a dealership so cost is probably around $30. sounds worth it. thanks guys.
