TAS also just released an adapter to convert the line over to AN fittings so you can replaced the fuel line to the tank as well... braided... psh... only good for brake lines. The P/S line has a braided steel core line on the pressure side (one running to the back of the engine and to the rack) with a rubber tubing enclosure in case it bursts. Fuel doesn't get above 40 psi, so also not impending explosion or expansion. The actuating rod on the clutch is going to bend before you burst the line so waste of money there... unless its all for dress up.

Actually SS brake and clutch lines DO firm up pedal feel.

hydraulic lines controlled by pedals will always benefit from a rigid line, because the pressure will always increase until you stop pressing the pedal or blow seals or blow lines.
