Re: How do the Earl's Stainless Brake lines improve braking? If you were on a roadcourse, braking for turns at very high speeds, your brakes would get extremely hot. Then, POSSIBLY, the factory flex lines could soften and expand when applying the brakes resulting in a longer, softer pedal. Stainless lines will not expand when hot.
You won't attain this high temp in street use so there isn't any need for them. After installing mine, there was no noticable difference in normal braking. However, I do 6-8 events at Watkins Glen per year which is why I have them.

the lines do not prevent fade.....
they just don't expand line the rubber ones, when you are jamming on the pedal. This expansion results in increased pedal travel and a mushy feel.
For everyday street driving, it's really not required.
