    Thoughts On Braided Steel Brake Lines?
    « on: January 21, 2009 - 11:32:09 AM »
    Has anyone installed braided steel brake lines from Classic Tube, Russell, etc?  Do you like them more/same/less than exposed rubber lines?  Any installation issues?

    no issues with them , they are supposed to firm up the feel of the brakes as the hoses cannot swell under pressure , they will wear as well or better then rubber

    I am running Wilwood SS lines on the Beast and they are rock solid.  They should last a while also.....    :grinyes:

    A man wiser than I, told me the only thing rubber does is decay. If you have the option of stainless or braided lines, then go for it.   :thumbsup:

     I just finished a 1986 Regal with  455 and brake upgrades, 9"  disc rear. The braided lines were cheaper than the stock rubber lines, about half the price! Easy to install and don't swell under pressure!
