[s-cars] Confirmed: Braided brake lines don't age well

[Vincent Frégeac]

I had a similar experience with a Paragon line blowing off after less than
three years... but a bit over 100Kmiles.

A few months ago there was discussion about running braided lines on the
street.  Lots of opinions on both sides, but it changed my mind about street
use.  I figured I'd eventually put OEM rubber lines back on.

My ECS braided lines are only 3 years and 12K miles old, with very little
winter use.  I didn't bother to inspect them at the time.  I figured they
had to be fine for now.



Have a look:

The other side looked just as bad, except without the strange abrasion that
wore through the thick yellow plastic in the middle of this one (still can't
figure that out).
