stainless steel brake lines?
So i am looking to get some stainless steel brake lines but not sure where to go...After searching the network it appears I've read bad reviews from the ones offered at Motorsport warehouse and apparently raceconcepts doesn't sell them anymore, and the goodridge ones take 4 -6 weeks to make...is there anywhere else to get them?
Thanks in advance, Chris |

I have some from Motorsports and RaceConcepts and I like both sets. I don't think you can go wrong by going to those.

I have BOTH Raceconcepts and Mototsports brakelines on some of our SVXi, and have had no problem with either.
I am happy and proud to install either! SS lines REALLY help put the pressure to the pads!

If you drive your car hard at all I wouldn't go with the plastic holders. They won't last long at all and the minimal advantage you just gained over good condition rubber ones just cracked with the plastic.

thats why I recomended the new race concepts lines, they have metal holders now

In all fairness, metal can stress crack or break
as much as plastic due to the rigidity of the mounting point. But just FYI, ours have a metal bracket now too with rubber bushings on them, pretty sweet

good to know you have updated your stock Dayle... The problem with the old lines was that the plastic was pretty brittle and asking to be broken. The metal tabs seem to be relatively maliable hence the effort to keep them from snapping
