Stock brake lines on 1LE and ZL1

Are they stainless?

If not, any idea why?

No. My guess would be because of accountants.

I will say that im sure glad i put stainless on my ride.I just had my 1st track day since the change.There is a big difference,there is still a little sponginess,but 99% better.Im assuming the 1% would be the anti lock brake system working?

to guage without driving it need more info.

what pads?

was bleed done correctly?
still using the spacers behind the pad? (this is normally overlooked)
stock calipers?

The factory lines are in fact rubber... Stainless lines make a huge difference and I suggest them to anyone doing performance driving. I prefer the Goodridge and Pedders lines myself.

Kind regards,
