In the past I've had not one but two karmann ghias on the side of the  road
from old swollen brake lines.  I have no idea how old the lines are on  the
syncro westy, so I'm thinking its time to wise up, be proactive,  and replace
them now.  I see van/volks cafe has normal flex lines, and ss  ones.  Has anyone
used the ss ones?  Did you see enough of a  difference to justify the price?

thanks
