Re: [MBZ] Stainless Steel Brake Lines

The plastic liner in the braided SS line is longer lasting than the rubber line.

The SS braid is self abrasive, especially if you get it muddy. The more the
suspension moves, the quicker it causes problems. 
On paved roads outside of pothole country I would expect them to last 50k miles
or more.

[MBZ] Stainless Steel Brake Lines

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Would be interested to hear anyone’s direct experience with using SS brake 
lines versus the stock rubber lines, and what exactly the difference was.

The S500 needs brake lines, so I found a set of stainless lines made by 
Goodridge and ordered them tonight.  About the same price as OE lines from the 
dealer from the looks of things.

It’s my understanding that SS lines give a much firmer pedal than rubber lines. 
 If I find this to be the case, I’ll definitely replace the lines on the SL500, 
as it’s always had sort of a soft pedal.  Lots of people in the R129 forum on 
BW have reported this as well.
