The steel braid keeps the hose from expanding when you step on the brake pedal = more solid pedal feel.
And it's nice.
I have had them on my performance oriented-car for a long time and like them. Daily drivers I don't bother with.
Just google "custom" and ss hose and there are a lot of places that will make them and they won't be much more than pre-packaged ones.
Or, see if you can find what other performance GM cars your hoses overlap with, then look for SS line kits for those. Likely the correct fittings and length exist in another GM application.
