    stainless steel braded. They are usually just rubber lines with a steel braded outer shell so they dont distort and cause pressure changes when heated. They are pretty much standard on all cars you see on the track, I have a steel braded clutch line kit as well.

    how often do you change your ss brake lines? i was reading that track cars dont really worry about SS lines because they change those parts quite often.
