opinions on steel braided clutch line

[GreddySpyder]

I just ordered an ACT2100 clutch and a steel-braided line from slowboyracing and I was just wondering what experience anybody has had with this combination. I actually LIKE a heavier and firmer feel to the clutch pedal, so will the SS line do a good job of firming up the pedal feel? I'm just looking for some general feedback about the feel of the ACT2100 and SS lines, thanks in advance.

the ss braided clutch doesnt make it any firmer it makes the clutch engage a little quicker... i'd still highly reccomend it, on my car the stock line that was replaced by the ss line was always leaking.

i also have the act 2100, and i like it also

The stock rubber line is so short that you'll not likely feel any difference with an SS line. But it won't hurt anything.

I replaced mine for 2 reasons:
1. It's one less rubber hose...
2. It looks really nice...hehe

Saber!...!...!

I installed a act 2600lb clutch and if you squeezed the rubber clutch line and had somebody push down on the pedal you could feel it expand so I’m defiantly putting in a steel braided line in my car.

I have a ACT 2100 and I put in a SS braided line from my experience I would reccomend doin this for a couple reasons, One less rubber line that flexs, It will allow you to remove and bypass your ecumulator which gives you more feedback and quicker engagement. I like the feel of the extra feedback how ever it just barely got stiffer. P.S. The removal of the ecumaltor is what increases engagement speed and feedback, not the steel line.

some braided ss lines only replace the short rubber one. make sure you get the long one from RRE which also replaces the ecumulator.

sorry bout bringing back an old post but I just bought the one from slowboy, does this line go all the way from the master cyl. to the slave?or do i still need the steel line? just trying to get an idea on how this is going to bolt up.

It should go from the slave cylinder to the bracket that the fuse box is bolted to.
