[QUOTE="jondle, post: 1691966, member: 2598"] Generally speaking, tires are the limiting factor in stopping distance, even with brand new tread. If you have enough brake to engage ABS, no brake system improvements will improve stopping distance. Brake system upgrades generally help with fade; so you can maintain that stopping distance over more stops. That said, I run stainless lines and the feel in the pedal is way better. It is just firmer and more linear. It doesn't actually improve distance, but feel is important. I do think that when you have fade and need more pressure for the same stopping power, it makes a big difference. If there is a chance you have air or water, which turns to vapor when hot, in the lines, definitely get them flushed. [/QUOTE]
