[s-cars] SS brake line/fraying

[tbickle99]

Tom,
Actually, I do "get it."  I checked the lines before every autocross
(i.e. once every 2-3 months).  I was just surprised that they only
lasted 4 years.  I was expecting them to last a lot longer.  Judging by
your post (and those of others), I guess my expectations were a bit
unrealistic.

FWIW, I recently noticed that Goodridge offers a "forever guarantee" on
their SS lines.  Of course, if one of their lines failed at speed, you
might not be in a position to file a warranty claim.

You guy still don't get it, do you?

Brett had the right idea, but didn't get the message across.  The SS  
lines are great
for brake response or pedal feel, especially for the enthusiast. But,  
he is the guy
that changes his brake fluid and inspects the lines every track day,  
not slap them
on and forget it for four years.   These lines were only made to last  
for two years,
replace the lines when  you flush the fluid, and look them over more  
often than that.

Tom
