<< Martin,
     
This isn't a pipe, tube or hose issue.  It is a relative position issue 
between the reservoir and the master cylinder.  What I am describing is a 
flat piece of metal that raises the reservoir about 3/4" above its original 
mounting location.  This takes the kink out of the rubber hose between the 
reservoir and the mastercylinder and increases the head of fluid by about 
3/4" WC (this is a pressure measurment).  The fluid now is more available to 
the master cylinder than the surrounding air and voila, the brakes work much 
better. >>

Dear Zac,
I have a '99 ST and the resevoir is very close to the MC and the tube has a 
tight bend that is kinked. I am wondering if I have the '00 setup. Could 
someone post pictures of the '99 and '00 setups? Dave Collins, San Diego
