Default Stainless Steel Brake Line Questions...

I was wondering if any of you out there with SS brake lines could answer a few questions I have...

Do they change the pedal feel at all?

What are the advantages to these versus rubber lines?

Are they worth the money? (in your opinion)

How difficult are they to install?

Thanks for all your input...

A very little bit; less expansion under pressure; if you're upgrading your brakes, yes; not too hard

Default It's messy work....you'd better know how to bleed your brakes.

But it is easy. Make sure you get some latex gloves so you don't get brake fluid all over your hands....yucko.

So as a mod unto themselves (without big brakes), they aren't really worth the trouble and expense?

Default I would think not; the stock calipers are fairly grabby...

...moreso than some of the aftermarket ones for initial application (since the aftermarket ones have more pistons to move).
