Unfortunately, that situation was resolved only this spring when I replaced the OEM rotors with Brembos. In any event, they are pretty high quality hoses and I've had no problems with them, but I don't know if they're worth the money. Aside from a slightly firmer pedal under heavy braking due to the lack of line expansion vs. the rubber lines, I don't really feel any difference. At $66 + shipping, it's not the type of purchase that will haunt you if you decide to go for it, but I think there are better mods to spend your money on.
