Default stainless brake lines, anyone?

I did a search for "stainless brake" and only came up with one hit. With all the brake mods that people seem to be doing, isn't anyone changing out their brake lines for stainless steel-braided teflon lines? If you have please, tell the brand and where you got them.

Default make sure you get SS lines with an outer plastic cover (m)

otherwise the SS will get abraided by something and eventualy burst (ask the man who knows.... can you say "blowing past the chicane at watkins glen at 110 without brakes?" I knew you could)

either that or be prepared to replace your lines every 1-2 years as a preventative measure

Default They may be worth it..

if you have some miles on your car. I've put SS lines (Goodridge) on an old Honda (140,000 miles) and my wife's Suburban (SMC; 85,000 miles) and the improvement was very noticeable. If someone is considering a brake upgrade, before you go to swapping out calipers and rotors, just try better pads, SS lines, and a high quality fluid. It will be much cheaper and may be sufficient for your purposes.

Anyway, from the meager responses I've gotten I guess no one has much info about them. I will check out G-Stop, though. Thanks
