[s-cars] stainless steel brake lines

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

Phil,

 One thing that has a great influence on pedal feel is the rear e-brake
mechanism. It's designed to take up the slack it the rear calipers. If the
e-brake cams are sticky you will have a sucky pedal. If you can pull the
e-brake up more than a couple of inches you probably need to free the cams
and/or cables. This can make a huge difference in pedal feel. Using the brake
often then keeps the rear pads tight against the rotors. Sometimes just
pulling the e-brake several times can improve the pedal feel a bit.
YMMV.
