[V8] brake hoses

[Ed Kellock]

My newest V8 has steel lines.  When I changed wheels/tires this
weekend I notice that one of the rears rubs on one of the suspension
components, upper control arm end?  The steel braid felt smooth still
i.e. no snaps, but with all I've heard and considering that I have no
documentation of who made them or when they were installed I think I
may just replace all of them with standard new OEM rubber lines.

It seems that the natural swelling of the hoses gives the brake pedal a softer feel and this is not noticed because it happens gradually. My car has 140k and replacing just the rears has made a noticeable improvement, replacing the fronts to follow very soon.
