Forget stainless steel braided lines, just get some zip-ties!

Not only will the zip ties not help, but they'll wear down the lines so that he can spring a leak! :rofl: I wouldn't be surprised if they melt and/or break off too.

WTF?!

Is that supposed to strengthen the lines or something? Someone help me out here with some ricer 101, I'm confused.

I think it's supposed to LOOK better than SS lines. :rofl:
You should know by now that "ricers" generally go more for looks than speed.
Most of the guys on here are the opposite way..more speed>better looks.

It's the extremely ghetto ricer alternative to stainless steel braided brake lines. The goal is to keep the rubber brake lines from expanding when they are exposed to extremely high brake fluid temperatures and pressures. It doesn't even apply to street driving, so of course the ricers are all over it. This guy is just a poorly funded ricer who isn't very smart. It only costs around $100 for the real thing from a quality brand.
