They look great for the people lying on the ground in front of your rear wheel!

The rears have like 3" of rubber hose in the line - not really worth the money IMO

Default No. I did a full bleed before swapping. Pedal feel was markedly improved, but not yet rock hard.>
I am still running stock calipers/pads/rotors/master cylinder. It was enough of an improvement for me that it was worth it. I like a twitchy brake pedal (though it's not near twitchy in the TT, but it is much more responsive).

Mine are by Abt, by the way.

Agreed. Unless you experience fade on the track, probably not worth it.

stainless lines aren't going to do anything for fade...

Default Even thought I hate to disagree with Steve...Yup!
I did the fronts on mine and the pedal is a lot firmer and no, there was no air in the lines before I changed them.

on the Fade thing! If your lines are old and squishy they will improve feel.
