    stock brakes are pretty awesome.. im also a big fan of stainless lines, only problem with doing them now is you dont get to feel the difference as much because everything changes either way i dont regret the 200 i spent on my SS lines or the 160 i spent on my OEM brake pads

    Thanks for the reply. Where did you purchase your brake lines?

    independent4x... actually they have gone down in price!

    i think that AZ vehicross offers some for less w/ more color options but i dont know anything about those, these indy4x ones are made for 3" lifts but im running mine on a stock vx with no problems (been on for like 6-8 months now)

    Have you been under it lately to check for any chaffing? A concern with running longer hoses.

    Thanks for the replies. I ordered new front an rear pads from St. Charles Isuzu and new (rebuilt) Isuzu rear calipers. No one seemed to have any advice on after market calipers. I plan to order new rotors all around from R1Concepts. I can't find much info on SS brake lines for a non-lifted VX. The I4X sound like they can work but I don't want issues with my mechanic if he thinks they are too long. If there is any more advice out there, please let me know soon. Thanks again.
