Stainless Brake Lines?
I am looking for info on who makes Stainless Brake lines for our cars and what kind of $$ do they run?
Is it somthing that you have to change all at once or can you do the fronts first then the rears?

what kind of gain can you get from going stainless steel besides fewer leaks? greater stopping power? more responsive brakes? what would possess you to get stainless steel lines, you're running a street worthy vehicle, is it really necessary? just curious, not raggin on ya.

demoninvictus - FWIR, the main gains are consistent stopping power, as the lines do not expand like rubber ones do. I know I needed braided stainless line for my 285 ft/lbs clutch. I am running a BPT motor, and finding myself requiring brakes alot more often as speeds tend to come up rather quickly.
Marc- Thanks for the corksport link, I didn't even think to look there, much cheaper than I thought they would be.

I believe the mazdaspeedwest (Darryl) is putting together a group buy for a brake kit that will include Brembo rotors, brake pads, and stainless steel lines. You might want to PM him for further info.
