In the ongoing debate between stainless steel braided lines and oem rubber lines, we always said no one had ever had a stainless steel line fail, until now. My right rear line broke internally (the shorter of the two) and I ended up with no brakes. Here's the kicker... the lines are about 4 months old! I'm in the process of getting a replacement (they have a lifetime warranty) but am wondering if it's something to do with the braiding that caused premature failure?
As a temporary fix, I limped to the junkyard with a combination of engine braking and e-braking in hopes that I could find a G1 coupe to cannibalize. Unfortunatly there were no G1s (
) but there were a number of G2s... The place was about to close so I snatched a rear line from a '93 G2 sedan, and I was very lucky to find out that it fit perfectly (it's a lot longer than I needed but the fittings are exactly the same). Should do until I get a replacement...
