Stainless lines
Moss is running a sale, and their having deals on stainless braided lines overlaps nicely with my shopping list.
I've read over the descriptions, and the only thing I see is that the cheaper set doesn't explicitly state that they're DOT-approved. But surely they wouldn't be selling unsafe brake lines... right?
That being said, is there any reason to choose these:

over these?

Just a heads up. My clutch and brake lines arrived today. I went with the cheaper ones: http://www.miatamania.com/Shop/ViewP...00&SortOrder=4
They seem to be of pretty decent quality. I was concerned about:
a) coating (as opposed to the stainless braid being exposed to filth, grit, and the elements and
b) swivel fittings on the banjo bolts.
They've got both. I'm a very happy camper. Outstanding value with their being on sale now imo.

A little tip that I use for protecting wire splices in hostile environments- get the heat shrink, and when you install it, spread some RTV silicone around the end of the line (not over the heatshrink tube, but under it). Then use a heatgun to shrink the tubing down over the silicone. Some of it will squirt out and make a mess, but it's as close as you can come to a completely impermeable water-tight seal.

huge difference in SS lines for me
i did just find out that my kit was indeed incomplete, i bought it from CDOC back in sep. of last year, they stepped up to the plate and fixed the issue, the manufacturer messed up a few kits, they are sending me another one with the distribution block this time and a drop label i guess for me to return the old one
i currently have only front lines and it kinda sucks at performance driving, fronts lock up and rears never do, too much front bias...
ill do the rear once as soons as i get the kit
