Default C6 SS brake line install

Hello,

I bought a set of Stoptech SS brake lines for my C6 Z51, and I'd like to upgrade my brake fluid since I do HPDEs. This install is above my comfort level. I need either:
  • a shop that has installed C6 SS lines before and won't screw things up or
  • someone who's done this before and is willing to help. I'm willing to pay in beer or cash.
If you know either not too far from Tacoma, please let me know. Thanks.

I just had Jeffvette help me replace the rotors pads and SS brake lines on my C5 Z06. But that would require you to come down to Vancouver. He doesn't drink beer. I've tried.

I did this a couple of months ago. There was a good thread in the C6 tech section about this that I used to help me. It really is not that difficult once you get the car lifted and the wheels off.

Any good mechanic can also do the job.

I did this upgrade, changed to Motul fluid and C5 Z06 brake pads. This made a HUGE difference in braking.
