                          the ones in the Korman GB is less than 112 and DOT approved. They are stainless steel and kevlar

                          edit: teflon not kevlar...I don't know what I was thinking ;)

                              Kevlar and coated.

                              From the Korman website.
                              1) Kevlar is not a good material for brake lines because of too much expansion. It is woven fabric.
                              2) Korman lines are Teflon/Stainless.
                              3) Coated lines are the high end of quality and are the best choice for a track car. In competition, uncoated lines should be replaced every season.
                              4) Korman says that 4% expansion is necessary for "feel" and that if solid steel tube lines were used throughout, brakes would be close to an on/off switch.
                              So much for eliminating flex and expansion.
                              Stainless braided lines may be overkill on a street car and uncoated ones introduce an extra maintenance consideration due to road crap working it's way into the space between the teflon and steel braid causing abrasion. The OEM rubber ones last 10-15 years and the stainless - who knows?
