Something I want to add:
I was reading some claims by some stainless steel braided brake line sets, talking about OEM rubber lines being susceptible to cracking and tearing from road debris and OEM rubber brake lines being rated for low pressures, like 1,200psi. Those notions are false for any OEM brake line in the recent 20+ years. Any OEM will have to have FMVSSS/DOT, SAE J1401 and OEM spec compliance. In that, they will undergo specific component durability tests, vehicle durability tests and, as far as pressure, the FMVSS/DOT requires at least 7,000psi/5,000psi (small/large hose ID) minimum burst pressure capability. To give comparison, stainless steel braided lines typically claim burst pressure ratings from 6,000-12,000psi and the carbon fiber lines mentioned are rated at 16,900psi.
