I need to buy new brake hoses for my 94 LS and i was thinking about switching to stainless steel ones. I found an article discribing problems with stainless hoses. Anybody got any suggestions, it seems i can get stainless for the same price as the OEM rubber hoses.

They said that it would bust if u applied the brake to hard and there were problems at the track

and that would not be good!!! now i'm debating whether or not to install these. most of the tuners and mechanics recommend steel braideds as part of a brake upgrade tho. they never mentioned any problems. i guess i'll ask around and see what people say. if i hear anything i'll let you know.
