The Si has WAY overboosted brakes ... there is little or no feel ... So SS lines really do not do much in my eyes for this particular car

I am going to try to fix the Booster issue before I fix the lines

I see...but what do you mean by the si has overboosted brakes? So SS brake lines basically don't improve braking like upgraded pads would? Thanks for the help.
