"The ‘Cork Sport’ signature brake lines feature all the benefits of other brake lines on the market. All of our lines are made to MVSS-1006 specifications (DOT Certified). The CS lines are plastic coated to protect the steel braiding and reduce premature wear. These lines are a specific fit for each application. We have a range of coatings we can use upon request: smoke, yellow, blue, red, clear, and black for when you want to keep brake upgrades inconspicuous. (Default color: clear)"

Damn, wish I would have seen those before I bought the mazdatrix ones. Looks like those replace the hard lines as well. Do you have any installed pictures?...later

I went with new OEM rubber hoses because of the possibility of grit getting into the braid. I didn't even want to trust a plastic covering or heatshrink. For a daily driver, a brake hose is exposed to the elements every day. Plus, stainless steel braided can't be easily inspected for signs of failure; rubber hoses are easier to inspect.
For a race or semi-daily driven car, by all means use SS. For the engine compartment, SS is perfectly fine--just be sure to route the hoses so that the braid wouldn't rub against anything (it's tougher than you think).

SS Hoses - wrong length - 4 piston fit?
I got some hoses from Rotary Performance, and they were too long, and had extra fittings in the middle of the line.
Anybody find a set for the 4 piston that is correct? it should be about 13 1/4 inches end to end. Rotary Performance was 15.5 inches, and rubbed the frame.
Anyone who has done this would help. My car is up on stands with the brakes torn apart...
Thanks!

Went and tightented up the line. Seems fine now though
They are a near perfect fit considering they are aftermarket

The plastic brake line couplers have cracked where they connect with the hardlines.
The master-cylinder is leaking, but I'm sure unrelated.
