Replacing Hard Brake Lines w/ Stainless Braided
I'm installing a set of Baer discs on the rear of my '84 Monte SS.
Is it okay to replace the factory hard lines that run from the junction at the center section to each caliper with flexible stainless hose, like the Russell teflon-lined stuff?
Do these braided lines flex too much?
Thanks,
Rick

I advise against it. I would run hard line everywhere possible except the front calipers and rear line to diff segments.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Definately a no-no. Sure, they do flex more, but they are also more prone to damage from debris on the road.
I've seen a few SCCA cars like that, but honestly, hard lines aren't difficult to make once you get the hang of it.Matt Jones
