Are Stainless Steel Lines Necessary

["Steve D'Gerolamo" <steved3@xxxxxxx>]

No, not necessary but they do give you better pedal feel. They are
generally more prone to failure because of the fitting to hose connections.
 If you purchase a set of ss hoses, they should be inspected before each
drivers event or annually for street driven cars.  Some of the better sets
have strain reliefs and banjo fitting/hollow bolt connections to the front
calipers to prevent the hoses from hitting front suspension components at
full steering lock.
			Even with SS lines, E24/E28/E31 cars with hydraulic boosters will have a
softer pedal than those models with vacuum boosters.  Many Mercedes and
Ferrari's also use hydraulic boosters which are better suited to space
restricted engine compartments.  SD
