SS brake lines really dont do much for braking just make ur brakes feel more solid. But being that they have a higher chance of bursting than tradtional brake lines i woudlnt put them in my car.

Thread cleaned up for now.

In addition to searching in these forums, I'm sure you will also find more discussions on stainless lines if you Google it, since other car owners also use them, or avoid them.

Here's an old discussion:

And here's one from Stop Tech:

i don't think that high-quality lines by goodrige or willwod + properly installed
wouldn't last as long as oem.
