Just replaced four 23 year old original 911 rubber brake lines, and slit the old lines lengthwise to inspect for what I thought would be weak, pitted, degraded passageway. Nope--no apparent wear or deterioration whatever. SS lines are more about bling than performance or safety. DOT approved rubber brake lines are at minimum performance equals.
