    That may have more to do with DOT regulations than performance benefits.

      I put SS braided lines on my 240 a few years back and didnt feel one bit of differance BUT like the bimmer guys up there ...the 240 has exceptional brakes in the first place and even more so since mine has J30 brakes all the way around . My case was sheerly a case of economics since the stock hoses were questionable anyhow.

        I'm with Charles and Rick, didn't feel any difference in the Miata. And that will bump you into CSP.

          SS lines are legal in Street Touring. 14.B says "Brake lines may be substituted with alternate DOT approved flexible brake lines."

          I don't think I'm going to fool with it for now anyway. The SS lines are cheaper than OEM rubber, so I will likely go that route if I see a need to replace the originals.
