This has been covered a couple of times on here but could not find the posts as I have responded to them with pics as have others. Process is simple and only did it because I was painting calipers and doing an exchange with fluid. Not sure really recognize anything except the satisfaction of getting them done myself.
I used stoptech bought them on sale at autoanything and theyre on sale now as well.

There is a difference between the SS line (the metal portion of the hydraulic system) and the rubber hose.
Some mfg's make the so-called "SS brake HOSES" but inside it is still rubber. I simply stick to OEM hoses made by ATE/FTE and done with.

I put a set of SS lines on my E53 and flushed and refilled with Dot 5.1 synthetic brake fluid. I suspect the construction has a plastic overwrap over a SS outer sheath with a teflon hose center. Aviation brake hoses made these days seem to have a similar construction with a teflon hose center.
The pedal feel was noticeably firmer after the process. I felt the 100K mile OE rubber hoses didn't owe me anything and I was going to flush the fluid anyway. Mike

StopTech® brake lines consist of a PTFE (commonly referred to as Teflon®) inner line that carries the brake fluid, which is then covered with a layer of stainless steel woven braid. The PTFE tube is very resistant to expansion under pressure and will not degrade from exposure to brake fluid. The braided stainless steel provides support for the PTFE and the weave is extremely durable against incidental impact and abrasion. Next the stainless braided hose is coated with a clear abrasion resistant PVC cover for maximum protection against chaffing and strain relief devices reinforce end fittings.

All I'm looking to do is replace the rubber portion of the brake line that goes from the caliper to the body, nothing more. I'm familiar with the ones I run on my jeeps because of the need for longer lines due to articulation of the suspension, plus they've always helped brake performance (on my Jeeps anyways).
