Stainless Steel Clutch Line

Does anyone have upgraded clutchlines? I've done a search and did not find much info. I am doing a clutch/flywheel install soon and wondering if I should upgrade the clutch line to stainless steel at the same time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I installed the Corksport clutch line myself. Easy to do and it does seem to make the shifting easier. I used the DIY.

You should definitely upgrade to the ss clutchlines if you're installing a new clutch. You wouldn't even have to track your car to notice the difference. In heavy stop and go traffic you'd be able to tell.

I have the Rotary Performance one, certainly seemed to help with the 1-2 shift.

From what I have read if you routinely drive the pedal to the floor stop you will probably not notice a difference when shifting with a SS clutchline in street applications. If, like me, you don't always get the pedal quite all the way to the floor you will probably feel a difference.

I opted for a seat adjustment rather than installing the SS clutchlines.
