Re: Whats Better ??? (air ride)

SS hard lines are better, and when done right they look much cleaner, but a lot more expensive and require a lot of skill to bend and flare the lines. Flexible air line is good because the average joe can do it themselves with limited knowledge, and if something does go wrong it's relatively easy to fix if you have the spare parts, especially if something happens on the road. The important thing w/ flex line is to keep it away from heat and keep it off of anything that will chafe it and cause it to burst.
