I have the MSDS stainless steel brake lines on my Vanagon, so far no
problems with other brake components.  The brake pedal feel is much
firmer under hard braking.  I switched to the stainless because my
original lines were cracking and looked a little rough.  One warning I
have heard and do believe about stainless lines is that they give less
warning when they are going to fail, i.e. you can look at a rubber line
and see cracks, kinks or bulges, not so on a stainless line.  I'll let
you guys know if my master cylinder blows up or anything.
