I have the Science of Speed (SoS) clutch line and it's nice. I really didn't notice much of a difference but I also did it before I took the car out of storage for the year.

So what difference should you be looking out for then performance wise? I know its only needed if you put in a DOT5 Clutch fluid.

If you really believe 6 inches of braided clutch line is making a noticable difference, you're an...
To put it more mildly: you fell for a sales pitch.

Grease on the push rod: THAT makes a difference!

Thanks Guys! I would agree with vtecb regarding the advantages of a braided lines with an HD clutch and pressure plate. With the SS braided lines I guess there'll be lesser wall expansion as suppose to OEM regular rubber clutch line due to extra pressure on the HD plate. I'm thinking just like the brake lines. Or maybe I'm wrong too. But as cheap as it is I will give it a try when I change my tranny fluid.
