Brake lines
Are buying stainless steel brake lines worth it in your opinions? I have always wondered what the benefits were and if they really do make all that big of a difference.

worth every penny imho.
last easily twice as long as stock rubber flexhoses, way more resistant to the elements (especially if you do what i did, and invest in coated SS lines) and you will never go back to stock brakes again.
the escort has SS front/rear lines + carbon/metallic pads and xdrilled front/rear rotors..
after i sat in a friends escort with stock but almost brand new brakes, i almost rear ended a car 10 minutes later.
the stock brakes felt so weak it's not even funny.
the car stops like it's glued to the road. and absolutely no brake fade.
