And cars today have very powerful brakes, that seem to work well even when driven by idiots!

Thanks for the sage and common sense advice. Probably close to what I already really thought. Looks like a full set of Spiegler and a full set of BMW lines are actually pretty close in price.

I would go with Earl's instead of Spiegler. Better quality accoring to Ted Porter.

And cheaper if you make your own.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

I don't know what Ted Porter's beef is with Spiegler
but I have had nothing but good experiences with their products and service.

I don't know if it's a beef per se, but he does cite Earl's over Spiegler. Maybe he gets a better markup?
