Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
I think he is referring to the rubber flex lines Mike.
I don't know the cost differential for the braided stainless, they might be

How much of the braking system are you replacing? It sounded initially like
Sumerel's wanted to replace everything from the master cylinder back.
Are you getting new steel lines, calipers, etc.?
