Stainless steel brakelines question

Hello all!

I am new to the whole stainless steel brake lines, i currently have a 2010 g37x coupe. I am flushing my brake fluid and a friend recommended me to do replace my stock brake lines go stainless steel brakelines, i was told these are more responsive compared to stocks. However, I live in the New England area and it is my daily driver so my question is how well will stainless steel brakelines in general hold up in turns of durability and longevity in the cold winter weather will all the salt and sand involved.

If they are not known to be in cold wintry weather conditions, i will just opt. out on this upgrade.

Please let me know guys! I tried searching a few other forums and i hear mixed opinions in terms of its cold winter weather performance. The last thing I want is brake issues when winter comes!!

The SS lines hold up just fine, but not really a huge difference in brake feel, a bit firmer pedal but unless you're going to a new BBK setup IMO it's not really a big deal.
