To anyone running Techna-fit Stainless steel brake lines
I installed my Techna-fit brake lines last Summer. They seemed like quality parts. However I just thought I would inform others of my recent experience with them.
They failed on me today, after less than 12k miles. I was driving and the pedal just went flat. Luckily I was able to roll to the side of the road safely. More specifically, the rear right line, just by the middle bend where it is secured to the knuckle broke and spewed brake fluid everywhere. I also checked the rear left, and it is almost at failure. Both have stress fractures (or fatigue failure I don't really know how to characterize it) and are sheared through. You can see a pic here -
I just though I would warn others owning these, or anyone who considers them, they are crap. Techna-fit
unsafe garbage I should have known better.

Not yet, but honestly after this experience I think i'm going back to oem. It's not worth it to me.
Also make sure to keep a close eye on yours if you keep them on.

, did they only have stress fractures in that one area or all over?

Just that one area (both sides), i guess it's a design flaw. I have not checked the fronts yet, but if I find more wear I post some more pics.
