G-Force used to say the same thing but the fact is if they're gonna leak from use at 1400PSI which is what our braking system working pressure is supposed to max out at, then they should never look like this.

I'm not gonna get in a pissing match about brake lines but this isn't a hollow warning either. I wouldn't eat a guard rail, ditch, curb, wall or other car because I saved $10 on my brake lines and in the grand scheme of things, if you don't want to spend the money for a good set of stainless lines from StopTech or Goodridge, you'd be better served by the factory lines than some garbage ones that will fail on you when you need them the most.
