Re: [MBZ] Stainless Steel Brake Lines

2015-06-30 Thread Mitch Haley via Mercedes
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.
