Hi,
It seems like with so many advances in aftermarket/ updated applications, that there might be something "out there" that is an improvement over traditional hard brake lines?
Just curious, as I stare at the little metal spiderweb surrounding the master cylinder.....
Thanks

the best thing to do is swap in
a new booster
a new ATE master cylinder
and add the 4 stainless steel flex lines,
and top it off with fresh ATE brake fluid,
I like the EBC red stuff pads they work well and dont make much dust

Don't use copper lines. These are ok for SAE double flaring but not for DIN/ISO bubble flaring. The original Cohline set is NLA for the 928 so the proposed Stainless steel lines are good, as long as you have the right flarings pressed on.

Would anyone happen to be familiar with these "Poly-Armour" hard lines?

Poly-Armour® has become the new standard in brake line replacement over the last several years. Surpassing all competitors as THE choice for both professionals and do-it-yourselfers when it comes to brake, fuel, and transmission line repair. Poly-Armour® is different from anything else on the market due to its PVF or Poly-Vinyl Fluorine coat. This coating is actually a highly durable 'plastic' coating that is 'baked and cured' to the line. This provides extra protection from corrosion, debris, and road surfacing solutions. It also offers superior bend-ability without kinking. That makes Poly-Armour® the easiest to work with line - period!
Underneath the PVF-coating is a double-wall, low carbon steel, copper brazed tubing which meets all international and U.S. requirements for brake tubing. The difference being that Poly-Armour® offers 30 times the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel alone. PVF-coated lines are now the standard in many vehicles on the road today, including: Volkswagen/Audi, Honda, Toyota, and Mercedes. Considered a premium line, Poly-Armour® should be used on any vehicle that will see any type of harsh environment including snow, road treatments, salt air, dirt/gravel, etc. When extending the life of the lines is important, Poly-Armour® should also be used, such as on commercial vehicles or when exact OEM replacement is required or desired.
• Poly-Armour® is 30x More Resistant to Corrosion
• DOT Approved for Hydraulic Brake Systems
• Bends Easier Than Standard Steel Tubing
• Available in Coils of 25'
• Finished Lines Available for Domestic & Import
Poly-Armour® lines and tubing meet the following specifications:
SAEJ527b
GM123M
SAEJ1290
DIN 74234

I'm pretty sure that's what they sell at NAPA. I replaced all the lines on my '84 VW GTI with this stuff and it worked like a champ. Very easy to work with and bend without special tools, comes in lengths up to 60" with unions to customize as required.
