I just ordered the SS ones.  I'm drinking the coolaid and buying the story
about the firmer brake pedal.  Give me about 3 weeks and I can tell you how
it's working out.

Subject: brake lines

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
