My 03 is due for a front brake job and was wondering about also changing the brake hoses since they are 15 years old with 150000 on them. Is this a smart preventative maintenance move? Had one blowout once on Ford work F150. Not fun feeling. Usually wife driving with young son in back. How about stainless steel lines? Worth the extra money? Read that dirt can get in braiding and abrasion can cause leaks. Otherwise I'll just go with good rubber lines like it came with. Thanks for any opinions.
