Getting ready to install my 929 master cylinder soon, just need 2 lines to replace the old ones that won't fit.
My question to you guys is instead of buying hardlines and bending them to fit the new master could I use bendable stainless steel brake lines to get the same job done?
I was looking at some abs delete installs and I saw the use of stainless steel lines so I was just curious?
What do you guys think would be better and recommend?

Thanks guys!

I have seen quite a few ABS delete kits running almost all stainless flex line. I dint see an issue with it. That being said, I will be doing my delete with all hard line and minimal braided.

Is there any difference in the performance of the flex line compared to the hardline? Just seems like it'd be easier to install the flex lines and call it a day.

Rubber, even SS encased ruber, expands and can potentially burst. Depending on how much you use, you maybe negating the benefits of the bigger MC

Cunifer lines are your best friend. I have a 929 MC and some of these lines just waiting for a free weekend.

the shop that did mine was able to do so re-using the stock line. they just re-bent / re-positioned it slightly.

there are a few install threads in the Suspension, Tires, Brakes section IIRC

I'm about to do my 929 M/C install (once my brake kit comes in) and I just picked up these lines from oreilly (4312PVF):

Edelmann RhinoHide™ 4312PVF - Brake Line | O'Reilly Auto Parts

$10 for both lines then you don't need a double flaring tool and don't have to worry about screwing it up. You can even pick up a tube bender for less than you could buy the SS lines for:

Klein Tools Professional 90-Degree 4-in-1 Tube Bender-89030 at The Home Depot

or

Alltrade Deluxe Tube Bender Pliers-648485 at The Home Depot

That's what I would do if I were you. Plus it should be easy to work on the brake lines because the block the lines connect to has a bracket that attaches to the M/C, so you can do it all when it's off the car.

Take a look at the lines connected to your car's calipers.

Ya because the wheels move so you need rubber. That doesn't mean the rubber doesn't expand
