Braided Brake Lines

[GKrenn]

Are all stainless braided brake lines the same? Is there one that stands out as being the better choice?

GKrenn,

In a GM Techlink magazine article, GM advised that stainless steel braided brake lines can cause electrical interference with the wheel speed sensors.

You can read the on line edition here to for the article (ninth article down): http://www.gmtechlink.com/images/issues/jul04/TLJul04e.html#story9

Good luck.

HI there,
There is a fix for that particular problem with stainless steel brake lines.
However, very few technicians know about it and many customers are not willing to pay for the correct service technique.
Allthebest, c4c5

So, what is the fix? :confused

I had stainless lines installed all around, over 2 years ago. I have had no problems.
I also can't tell any difference in feel or performance....

Do you Auto X or do a lot of DE events? If not, I wouldn't worry about doing them. Jost my .02.

I've had the SS brake lines on my '99 coupe for over a year with Z06 calipers, GM performance pads and sportbrakes' drilled/slotted rotors and the car stops better than a Porsche, with no interference problems.
