maybe i've had my head in the sand for a long time, but i've run
SS brake lines on several cars in the past and never heard that
SS lines should be swapped out every 1-2 years before i read it
on audi lists. if SS lines are less prone to expansion (wear),
why would you need to replace them so frequently?
