Per state DOT? Don't know. They are DOT stamped though.

Just curious, is the braided brake lines for looks or does it give more stopping performance too?

they make a pretty big difference, I had a set on my STi and it certainly made a big difference in pedal feel

Hi. I bought the WORKS braided steel brake lines! I think they are great and NO issues! They look great and the stainless steel has a 'blue-ish' clear sleeve over them to protect them from grease and road debris! WORKS parts are always top of the line!! Read my signature below, I have alot of their products=amazing!!! -Howard

I'm running the technafit lines. Nice quality for a decent price. COmes with everything you need for the install. They're teflon coated on the outside, with helps protect them from abrasions. I believe the Stoptech and Works lines are too, just more expensive. Pedal feel is great, but I'm also running ATE Supre Blue.

I use the StopTech lines, and in conjunction with the Neo Synthetic Super DOT 610 brake fluid it makes a fantastic combination.
