Totally agree. I'm not arguing or questioning the fact that the stock lines should be replaced for reliability (basically just like any other rubber part on the car). I just question if it's worth it to get SS over hydraulic shop lines. However, your testimony about how your lines leaked from a hydraulic shop is helpful (then again the OP had the same problem with SS lines...).

Man, this is seriously like asking if an R compound tire is "really that much better" for track use than a stock-equipped goodyear tire. People are gonna question your credibility before long if you keep asking this.

I think we're on a different page here. I'm not saying use OEM lines. They're overpriced and, like you said, deteriorate.

Once again, the question being, are SS lines worth getting over hydraulic shop lines (not OEM) as far as quality, reliability, durability, etc.?

Obviously they require more effort than clicking "Order". However, for those of us with limited money, a bit of effort can be worth it.

dude, just save the money, and order ones from Banzai Racing.

I tried to save a few bucks with the CS lines, and ended up wasting a ton of time trying to install them, and then getting my money after I finally sent them back. (check was lost in the mail) I think that spending the cash initially on the best component I could get would have put my car on the road a lot sooner and saved me a lot of frustration.
