[s-cars] Brake Lines, Rubber not Stainless Steel

[tony.curran at sympatico.ca]

Sean,

Go with the SS. Rubber will be fine when new but as it ages will soften. Under high brake pressure, bulges may occur and ruduce braking effectiveness. SS lines won't do that. Changed mine a couple of years ago and they've been fine. Just do an inspection 2-3 times a year when changing tires or underneath for anyone of a myriad of reasons.
