Anyone know a reliable vendor that has them? I went to OP Mustang at they are out of stock. And some of the other places google leads me to I’ve never heard of.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any issues with the stock brake lines?

Issues as far as what and how? Daily driving? Tracking?

Modern factory brake hoses are designed to withstand high pressure/high temps and high mileage use. The brake hoses of today are not the frail crap rubber hoses of the past.

Track. Just curious as to the purpose behind an aftermarket product.

The value proposition for the braided stainless brake hoses is that unlike rubber hoses, they don't expand when you press the brake pedal. Expansion makes the pedal feel soft.

Thing is, somewhere around 2010 or so, Goodyear (I think), came up with a high performance rubber brake hose material that was almost as expansion-resistant as braided stainless. Ford used it (OEM) on the Boss 302 from 2012, the GT500 from 2013 and it's on the GT350 and GT500 (and presumably the GT).

The GT350 brake pedal is very firm - it's doubtful that braided stainless will improve it.

For what it's worth, I installed these on mine a few years back and definitely noticed an improvement in brake pedal feel during track days with high temps. My brakes used to feel soft during 100F+ days when I was pushing the car hard but after I installed these, they feel solid all day long.

IMHO, stainless steel brake lines are one of those "why not" upgrades. I don't "need" a 6pt harness and containment seat to go out on track, but I'd rather have one than not if the situation allows.

The OEM hoses are very good, IME. But stainless offer more durability and heat resistance...so why not?

I added a set of the #12365 Goodridge SS lines while she was under getting suspension and R Caliper's installed. Like Honeybadger said, why not, it's an easy upgrade with added durability.
