    Pretty sure that's how I tracked the parts down. Always had a metal slave so I don't know any difference between them, just added the stainless line and fittings. No noticeable difference.

    Been running mine for a couple years now. Plastic vs metal material. What else is there really to know!?!?

    Slave cylinder is a Sachs unit. Get the part number and you can source it for cheap. Braided line seems custom, but that is doubtful. Bet both can be sourced for cheap.

    I guess I don't understand why people feel the need to replace a working slave cylinder with a metal version as an "upgrade". The master cylinder is plastic. My slave is plastic and has given me no trouble.

    I run one from USP motorsports. with the SS lines only about 1k on it and one rallyx day but I felt a big difference I also think my stock one was starting to go. I also did a gravity bleed worked well takes like 30 min.

    It's plastic and is easier to break. Only reason I did it, along with wanting to add the CM bleeder to the metal slave in the future. But biggest issue is the plastic bleeder screw. Most upgrade the whole assembly, when in actuality you can just swap out the plastic bleeder screw for a metal one. Easier and cheaper.

    When I upgraded my turbo I installed this when I did my clutch. The big "why not?". And it was cheap back then when he first introduced the kit. Got mine during a sale or an intro GB.
