When I switched everything over to SS braided lines and Super Blue DOT4 fluids, it corrected that soft feel.

Flush/bleed the brake system every 6 months to 1 year also, this will preserve components as well as performance. I still need to replace the rear lines on mine, braided lines are the shiznit!

braided lines and bleeding the system helps, but even with my moster front and rear brakes the pedal is still a little soft for my liking.

The Russel kit only has front lines and the rear line from the frame to the distribution block on the axel. The rear caliper lines aren't included. The is a kit that does I believe but I don't remember who, someone else will have to chime in for that I guess.

Negative. The Russell Kit is complete with front and rear caliper lines as well as the center line for the rear distribution block.

I know in the beginning, they only offered a 3 piece set but I believe they still offer both now.

I bought my 5 piece set from Russell but I don't recall the PN or where I even bought it from.

I know you can also find the 5 piece set HERE.

Well shit, I got the 3 piece set last summer, I couldn't find a 5 piece from Russell at that time. I wonder if there is some way to get just the other two pieces? Actually I was thinking of buying the tools, line and fittings to make them myself anyways though. That link is the 5 piece set I was talking about that I found after I got mine.

Not sure. Contact Summit or buy the rear setup from the linky above.
