How does this brake fluid look?

FWIW, I've swapped to SS brake lines on two ZHPs now and honestly, I can't really feel much of an improvement. So, if you want to save the $125 or whatever they cost, then don't bother. A good flush and proper bleed (as stated above a few times) will be your biggest help. I too recently flushed to the ATE Type 200 fluid.

Also, this time when I flushed/bled, I hooked the car up to INPA and ran through the ABS functions to activate and ensure all of that was bled/flushed as well. Seemed to help with a nice stiff pedal...

1.) do you track/autocross?
2.) I was under the impression the rubber hoses wear out. Is that not true/over stated?
3.) do you have a suggestion on alternatives? I don't wanna cheap out on any part of the brakes, but OEM lines are about $40 each.

I've replaced brake fluid on vehicles because it was dark. By the next day it was dark again and I never noticed any change in brake feel. Felt like a waste of time.

If this happens, it means your rubber brake lines are deteriorating from the inside out, their inner rubber lining is disintegrating very time you push the brakes. If you see dark after a brake flush, then you need to replace your brake lines, OEM or SS is your choice.
