Stainless Steel brake line recommendations
I will be upgrading the brakes on my '03 E500 to E55 brakes, and looking to get SS brake lines.

What do you guys recommend?
And are there any brands to stay away from?

I've been reading a lot about the Goodridge and Stoptech lines. Last year, looks like Goodridge had issues with leaking. How long have you had your lines on, and have you had any issues?
