The MK1.5 custom line definatley makes the swap easier then having custom ones made at a shop or making them yourself. Buying this cheap but excellent quality line makes life so much simpler.
SW20 The pedal feel is great compared to my old 20 year old line. Install of the line isn?t that bad the pain comes from the bleeding of the hydraulics. Do yourself a favor and get a bleeding kit. Even after you use the kit you may still need to do some traditional pedal bleeding. The work is well worth it though.
The good: ok price, slightly tighter clutch feel, chance to bleed the hydraulic clutch lines The bad: draining the clutch did not work for me after hours trying to do the basic silicone hose/bottle method where you pump the clutch pedal several times then hold clutch pedal down and slightly unscrew the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder to release fluid with air bubbles then retighten, add fluid, pump pedal again etc. BUY A SPEED BLEEDER! $10 for a set of two at Autozone (you only need one though I just bought the only thing I saw). Simply replace the old bleeder valve with one and slightly unscrew it then you can pump repeatedly without having to retighten the speed bleeder valve in between because it won't let air come into the lines. Just don't go nuts and pump so much that the clutch master cylinder gets low because then you must start all over (about 10 pumps on the clutch is adequate in between topping of the clutch master cylinder with dot3 brake fluid is adequate). Also make sure to pump very quickly and strongly. People say not to but it speeds the process way up until you can build up enough pressure in the hydraulic system to pump more slowly and get the last few bubbles out. All in all a decent deal. I would've given 5 stars had the clutch hose come with bleeding recommendations for dummies like me.
