Brake Lines

How do steal braided brake lines improve performance of the hydrolics? Or is it just for looks?

its supposed to kkep the pedal feel firm. the stock lines are made out of rubber and when you brake hard the lines lose it shape and expands almost like they inflate and the pedal will become soft because the pressure is reduced. when you have steel lines and you brake hard the lines keep its shape and prevents them expanding which results in a firmer pedal feel. maybe someone can explain this better than me.

That about explains it

Picture fluid flowing through a rubber hose and fluid running through a PVC pipe. Then cap the end of both and see which one should expand. The PVC pipe is the stainless steel line.
