With SOME stainless steel braided lines, the braiding can OCCASIONALLY start to fray around the fittings. When that happens, the sharp ends of the fibers could cut into the delicate material on the inside of the lines and rupture them. So, when you inspect them, look for leaks and fraying around the fittings.

Stock pads? Crap for crap? Made that mistake already, now I've got Hawk HPS and new rotors and no warping finally.
