The SS reinforced lines are there to give you he added protection in case
you happen to hit something across your brake lines. (You know...rocks,
trees, small furry animals, etc.) ;)
If I had to, I would change mine out...but so far i've got my sites on other
mods first.

Would it be possible to wrap rubber lines in SS? It seems like the SS is for
Abrasive Resetance, also, it would stop the hose from flexing... I dunno
how
big of a problem that really is, but I could see it being a problem.
