SS lines for the tC

Fluid really only tends to boil in the calipers where the heat from the pads and rotors gets high enough to heatsoak the calipers and bring the fluid up and over 400-600 degrees (depending on the fluid). Lines are installed to improve pedal feel and to improve the responsiveness of the system by getting rid of the flex in the stock rubber lines. On a new car the differnece wont be as noticeable but you wil maintain the feel of a new car without the slow degredation in feel of the rubber lines.
The differences you see in pricing can be attributed to a few different things including line quality, type of fittings and assembly and testing procedures. Our lines tend to cost a little more than some other brands but that is due to a few things. All of our lines use a teflon inner liner and stanless braid which has an outer sheating to protect the braid from contamination and to reduce the chance of chafing in case the line rubs agains anything. We also pressure test every singe line that is made to 4500PSI to ensure that the line is built to spec. Every line we make is built less than 100 feet from my desk at our HQ in Torrance CA to DOT spec and include other essentials like banjo bolts and crush washers, hardware to attatch the lines to the factory mounting locations, and rubber plugs to seal the hard lines when changing the lines so you dont lose too much fluid and make a big mess.
