SS brake lines are almost always teflon brake lines with a SS braided covering to protect them. The purpose is that they are more resistant to expansion under pressure and therefore provide a better pedal feel and maintain better pressure. For street use, it is better if the SS braiding has a rubberized coating. Sand and dirt can get under the SS braid and wear away at the teflon tubing.
