braided brake lines popping?
Ok last night i got in my car and i pushed on the brakes to adjust myself in my seat, and the pedal went to the floor...I was like WTF!! I pushed them again and brake fluid sprayed all over my window. So i took my wheel off,and the steel line had split!!!!I thought these things were supposed to hold crazy pressure? Any one else have this happen ever??

Did you buy the Cross Drilled model?? 
hehehehe j/k
Who makes them? Were they rubbing on anything? How long have you had them? Maybe they are defective

Nothing is perfect.
What brand did you get? How long have you had them?
-ryan
ps I personally have Neuspeed (hey...they were cheap when I got them...and no I didn't get them because they are yellow). So far so good.

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
back from the dead.
my Goodrich lines just popped today after a panic stop Stomp on the brakes.
looks like dirt got under the braiding over the past 2 years and rubbed the inner hose thin enough for it to rupture inside the braiding so it leaks now and barely hold pressure.
I'm going to install stock lines again.
I would not use SS lines unless they have an outer rubber protective coating preventing dirt/grime from getting under the braiding and rubbing the inner hose right thru over time... this would have been a catastrophic failure if I was at a roadcourse or autox.
even a good visual inspection of the line reveals NO problems with the braiding, but it leaks and its scary! Ive had them on the car for 2 years now, daily driving mostly.
be careful you guys!
