Default Stainless Steel brake lines?

Do stainless steel brake lines actaully decrease braking distance?
If they do, great, sounds like a good mod.
If not, why have them other than to obtain "stiffer pedal feel"?

I was just curious about them, and was thinking of picking some up IF they actually help. Thanks.

Makes sense to me that they WOULD reduce braking distance. But whether that's "real world" quantifiable is another matter.

I don't notice it. Just makes the brakes feel "better" and if you're gonna replace it why not? It's not that much of a cost overhead -- for me, that is.

i never noticed a difference in braking distance with mine but the pedal has always felt more solid and brake feel much more solid, after the installation
