i am assuming changing to ss lines will not be too much of a difference for daily drive. My goal of changing to ss lines are for track use, more for pedal feel. If they do anything it will probably be un-noticible in terms of stoping power.

Any one else have SS lines on their car 04-07?? what brand?

Thanks guys

Eddie

you can't see the condition of the rubber liner inside.
SS lines are actually teflon line's strengthened with an external sheath of braided stainless-steel wire on the outside.

So that's why armored Teflon hose is usually called "stainless-steel hose". ALL stainless-steel brake lines are really Teflon lines with a protective stainless-steel-braid cover.

The stainless-steel outer braid will cut through anything against which it rubs, so you have to make sure that the lines don't rub back and forth over anything important.

Stainless steel lines have been known to fail when dirt gets between the outer braid and the Teflon lining... As the braid moves back and forth, the dirt abrades the Teflon and can make it rupture. If you look at stainless-steel lines on motorcycles, you'll see that many of them are encased in plastic tubing, apparently in an effort to eliminate this problem.
