Why would you want to replace the factory lines with SS?

Tracking the car, especially in high heat conditions, will cause the brake fluid to heat and expand, which causes the rubber lines to expand, which mushes up the brakes. And mushy brakes are a no-no anywhere, but especially at the track.
Even though this won't be my primary track car, I've got SS lines ready to install. Cheap insurance. |

I don't flush after every track event, just annually. Only bleed+refill before the event. Used to love alternating ATE colors till the gov put the kibosh on the blue dye |

Huh, MUCH higher wet boiling point. DEFINITELY not cheaper. I might actually give it a shot next year. Motul does lose some of its oomph later in the year.

Has anyone got a video they can share documenting how to do this stainless line swap? Or just take the old one and replace.... then do the bleed. That easy.

Since this necro-thread was given new life, I'll throw our Spiegler Stainless Steel Brake Lines into the mix. They have some really cool features like the rotatiting fittings, which releases tension on the lines. While our lines aren't the cheapest, they are made with the highest quality components and every set is properly tested and DOT compliant. You can learn more about Spiegler here: https://www.essexparts.com/brake-lines
You can find the specific lines for the M2 and M2 Comp here: Front: https://www.essexparts.com/spiegler-...mw-m2-m3m4-f80 Rear: https://www.essexparts.com/spiegler-...m4-f80-f82-f87 |
