Subject: Stainless Steel Brake Lines

If you install a set of ss lines and have an aftermarket sway bar, turn the wheel to full lock and make sure your lines aren't hitting the bar. If they are close or touch, consider a set of front lines with a hollow bolt/banjo fitting attachment to the caliper. These will come in parallel to the caliper and stay close enough to avoid contacting your suspension components. These attachments also put less stress on the fittings that are prone to failure. My Euro supplier of stainless brake lines is working with the manufacturer (Fischer Hydraulik) to update the banjo fittings from aluminum to stainless steel to avoid possible deformity if the hollow bolts are overtightened (ie, more than 20nm).
