I just purchased ss brake lines from Paragon products... hopefully they are better than these!

Does anyone have experience with the paragon products DOT ss brake lines?

I am skeptical of putting them in now, but I was planning to have them on the car for two years before replacing. (mainly spirited street car).

I was told the SS lines need to be changed every two years? and stock (not as good) will last a long time?
Brakes and tires are 2 things I never skimp on (again a Motorcycle back round)
brake lines and fluid change are on my list for this summer.

Ive had SS lines on 4 cars since '97, 3 different vendors including Paragon - no issues with any of them.

Looks like a terribly bad set from the supplier in the linked post.

Brakes are the most important system on a street or track car. This is a serious reminder to test and inspect everything, often. We assume or hope that replacing 25 year old factory parts with aftermarket components is the safe thing to do, unfortunately that is not always the case.
