I got some SMC stainless steel brake lines from a Legacy owner in Washington yesterday and got to install them last night. It was a bit of a pain, and a writeup is in the works, but the results are nice.
No more mushy brake feel now! It’s nice and tight!
I also replaced my rear brake pads with generic AutoZone ones. They were old, REALLY OLD, and i needed a hammer to get the inside ones out. Sheesh.
