Brake failures do happen. Having said that ALL oem vehicles have them because failures of that sort are more rare than my gf bringing home 3 hot friends for me to bang.
There are exceptions to everything. But normal street driving just don't need stainless lines.
Agreed, of course you don’t need them. If they were needed they would come from the factory as a requirement. If you want to go that far, name an aftermarket modification that someone does need.
I assumed you were more or less asking for testing of soft lines and I found and article that lists the SAE tests for them and somewhat described how the tests were/are performed.
As stated above, I have the braided lines, I’m not sure if they really changed the braking feel/performance or not. That would back up your claim if I can’t really tell. I also didn’t buy them for improving the braking of the vehicle.
Now the real take away that probably warrants more looking into is the design life of rubber brake lines. Common sense would tell you that they don’t last forever. Never would have thought 3 years was the design life though. That could be from the point of view of someone selling brake lines though (create a sense of urgency). Interesting non the less though.
