V6 Stainless Steel Brakeline Upgrade
 

Hello,
I'm doing a little beefing up to my braking system. I just ordered a set of Hawk HPS pads, GT-sized Rotors and new caliper brackets. Its going to take some time until I finish what I want to do(Are we ever finished :icon_angel: ) but I know somewhere down the line I will be adding some type of Forced Induction, which is why I went with GT rotors(I'm not going to go too crazy, so I won't be adding an unnecessary big brake kit). My question is how beneficial are Stainless Steel Lines? The guy I bought the rotors from offered to throw in a set of stainless steel lines for $135 shipped. Would these complicate the install? I'm not doing it myself because brakes are wayyyy to important for me to risk botching. So I'm looking at a potential increase in labor charge, but would it be worth it? Will adding stainless steel lines be better? In what way? Thanks!!

you should be able to do the brake swap yourself if you have a jack and jack stands a lug wrench and a few metric wrenches its just a unbolt old parts, bolt gt parts back on. if you swap out the lines then you will have to bleed the brakes. Swapping to gt parts is not much more work than switching brake pads. so yes the stainless lines will add labor cost and unless you are going for looks or going to autocross i dont think in normal driving you will see a huge difference in braking with the line change.

Stainless steel brake lines expand the same as the OEM steel ones.
Its all hype if they claim any benifits from Stainless Steel brake lines.
Now get some Teflon lined zero volumetric expansion flexable brake
lines to replace those OEM rubber ones and you would be in busisness....
