SS brake lines

[dnova89]

I use the UUC lines, they look great. I can't comment on any performance gains, the main thing was I just don't want to deal with replacing them again. I think the biggest improvement is simply replacing the old worn out rubber lines, so if you're on a budget simply replace them with new rubber you'd be fine.

I don't think SS line from UUC are too expensive though so I just went with that since they look cool and you'll probably never have to replace them again. It's a good idea to hold off on replacing the 2 lines near the differential until you get in there to do all the bushings so you can just do it at the same time and save yourself some stress, because it's nearly impossible to replace those 2 lines without getting shit out of the way. Some people say they are able to squeeze in there, but I've tried and tired, I think they're stretch armstrong or something lol.

Bought my blue Evo lines from Bimmerworld for $119 before seeing UUC apparently has the same lines for $109. Are they the same Rob?

Nope. We use end pieces that have their own protective cover and DOT marking.

it's not the SS braiding, but the teflon center that does not swell like rubber. the SS braid is just to protect from abrasion and give some reinforcement to the teflon.

Yup, all brake lines have the inner lining. Rubber on its own would never hold up to that type of pressure. The teflon is a coating between the nylon inner lining and rubber. Its not structural. SS brake lines are great if you're doing the baha 1000 or you need to impress your ricer friends.

When I redid my brake lines, OEM ones were more expensive than the SS ones I bought, by like $20.

That should be a clue about the quality of what you're buying.

Got the UUC Set. They are great!

You know all brake lines made today have braided SS wire embedded in the rubber.

and stock lines probably cost more than most of the aftermarket ones.

there's also no such thing as "DOT approved".
