Default Quality stainless steel brake lines - corrosion resistance

I recently bought a set of Stoptech stainless steel brake lines (oem brembo setup). They lasted all of one winter. The connections are now completely covered in rust. Not sure if the zinc plating is very thin or if the steel quality is garbage, but these are absolute **** considering they are from a relatively well known company with a reputable name.

Does anyone have recommendations for a high quality set of stainless steel brake lines?

I went with the SS brake lines from Z1. They have held up pretty well with no issues like you describe: https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...es-p-2998.html

It looks like they also have a "premium" set for Brembo's for about $30 more. I don't have any firsthand experience with these: https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...es-p-5200.html

I have the Goodridge Phantom lines but they aren't cheap, they are fully covered up like the premium options out there.

I was just looking at the Goodridge lines earlier today. I think I'll get them in that case as they seem to be the only ones available with SS connections vs zinc plated from what I've looked at so far.
