Anyone try stainless brake lines?

What about slotted rotors and hawk hps pads? My brakes feel mushy

Well, look at it this way. To slow down I take my foot off the gas pedal. Which works better with a MT than the AT I must suffer with. I use the brakes to come to a stop at lights and stop signs. It is very unusual that I have to "hit the brakes" to stop all of a sudden. I dont use them much at all. Here is something I saw the other day. I was in town with a light every 2 or 3 hundred yards. I just went through a green light when the one ahead of me turned red. So I took my foot off the gas and coasted a it. When the light turned green I was still moving albeit slowly. Numb nuts behind me roars around my slow motion Yaris and proceeds to the red light going 40 or more. Then slams on his brakes 20 yards from the light and comes to a complete stop.

I ahdly use my brakes so who cares if they mush a little?

do they need to be replaced? Do you autocross or race? Different pad material could help, as could different brake fluid.
