If you knew what you were talking about you would know that under heavy braking conditions the expansion the occurs in your lines is significant. My clutch and brake peddle feel has seriously deteriorated since mile 0 and much more so after 1 seasons worth of auto-x. I intend Intend on imporving feel by repaceing the lines, in additon to a racing brake kit and a master cylinder brace.
you could just try bleeding the brakes

Question is still the same any difference in quality among different types/brands?
To elborate: why is the autoexe $320 and mazdatrix $90.

I have the Mazdatrix lines. They work fine for me. 1 year of hard tracking and no issues. As long as they fit, the inner line doesn't degrade, it doesn't expand under heat and high pressure, it should be good. But that's just me.

When I checked I found there isn't any differance in SS lines ecept:
Some claim to be SS lines but are actually Silcone rubber lines with a SS shield.

a) that was the new installation, there a little dirty now 
b) nothing wrong with the loop, fits/works perfect, too big is just as bad as too small, if it rubs the wheel you'll find out at an inopportune time

It seems the AutoEXE has an OE style center fitment, in other words it's actually two lines with a fixture in the middle. I'm also sure that the AutoEXE brand adds a bunch to the cost. I'm not sure if anyone has the AutoEXE lines though.
