Forum will no longer be utilized!

After facing many challenges with utilization of this forum for many years, the board voted on the evening of 1/12/2026 to stop use of the forum in favor of the modern, more effective means.

Most of our general club organization will now be coordinated via Discord and results from our events along with schedules and announcements will be hosted on our main alscca.net webpage.

What does this mean for the old forum? Well, in short we are going to stop using it. This has been reviewed several times in the past few years, and there has been a desire for some of more tenured members of the club to have the historic content preserved. In an effort to preserve this content, it was discovered that we could not simply export the content to be placed in a modern website. This forum will now become an archive only forum and will not be monitored. If you wish to preserve any of the content, this is your time to search the pages to find it. There is no promise that this content will remain available forever with the fragile nature of this forum.

    That may have more to do with DOT regulations than performance benefits.

      I put SS braided lines on my 240 a few years back and didnt feel one bit of differance BUT like the bimmer guys up there ...the 240 has exceptional brakes in the first place and even more so since mine has J30 brakes all the way around . My case was sheerly a case of economics since the stock hoses were questionable anyhow.

        I'm with Charles and Rick, didn't feel any difference in the Miata. And that will bump you into CSP.

          SS lines are legal in Street Touring. 14.B says "Brake lines may be substituted with alternate DOT approved flexible brake lines."

          I don't think I'm going to fool with it for now anyway. The SS lines are cheaper than OEM rubber, so I will likely go that route if I see a need to replace the originals.
