After spending the last two days doing some track driving, Brainerd MN, I am going to do some further brake mods. I have Powerstop rotors and KVR pads which work very nicely but am looking to firm up the pedal. I'll be switching to a better fluid and am considering braided lines. Anyone using them? If so were did you get them and how much? Thanks.

Krause, Where are you? I'm down in St. Paul,MN. area.How do you like the Power stop rotors? I have used steel lines(braided) and really noticed a MUCH better feel and it was more linear. I have never used them on a 'Tour, but it should be the same. I think KKM of SCA sells them. Check the links page.

I have the BAT braided lines in the front, and they made a HUGE difference. Still have to do the rears yet.

Hey Andy,

I'm over in Central Wisc (Marshfield) I was in Brainerd with the Quattro Club. So far I really like the rotors, no warpage problems after two track events, the pads seem ok. I need to put on the new lines and better fluid which will help the pedal feel.
