My car has braided stainless brake lines all around, has since I bought it 18 years ago. No problems yet! Plus is a firm pedal and they seem to last a very long time compared to the rubber ones. Though at 18+, I probably should think about replacing them just because. My car has a solid line from the clutch master to the slave, as has every Spitfire I have played with - yours doesn't? Just regular brake line with a couple of loops in it to take up the movement when the engine is rocking around.

If so, what are the upsides/downsides?
