braided stainless steel brake lines

[OS]

Does anyone have these on their cars? How are they and are there any associated problems?

Shouldn't be any issues. You *should* notice a firmer pedal and better feel.

Are you going to cut and fit them yourself, or are they part of an upgrade kit OS?

Yeah thats the theory. If I ever junkyard a rear disc conversion, seems like it might be a good idea to throw in some SS brake lines while tearing apart the brake system.

I have S/S fuel and oil lines, but not brake lines so I don't know.

They do LOOK cool though!

They have kits, not for my car yet because it's 2003, but i'm sure eventually someone will have a kit.

I have SS brake and clutch lines. It gives you a more responsive and firmer feel.

almost all braided stainless lines are not DOT approved, and are illegal to use on your car. Having said that, braided stainless lines are stronger, and deform less under extreme pressure, and are better at absorbing abrasion without damage.

I will be custom building a set for my cart in a few weeks.

With your ss fuel and oil lines, do you notice a crisper throttle response and higher oil pressure?
