Sorry for cross posting. I posted in another forum but not getting any responses.
I live in the rust belt and trying to choose between copper nickel and stainless steel hard brake lines. I am planning to buy pre-flared and pre-bent lines so that is not a problem. While there are several threads discussing theoretical advantages and disadvantages I could not find much information on how things worked out in the long-term. I would like to hear from people in RUST BELT
1) if you have installed copper nickel? How long has it been? is it holding up well over years against salt and rust?
2) Does copper nickel get easily damaged? Say you are wrenching under the vehicle and hit the brake line by mistake. Will it dent/flatten the line?
