if you have not purchased them then get stainless steel lines it is worth the extra bucks. If you have purchased them paint them with clear wheel paint so you can see any underlying corrosion in the future. The best thing to do is pressure wash the underside of a car every chance you get to remove road salt, especially from the lines where they mount or connect.

Thank you. I have steel lines with some kind of protective coat, but don't really trust it. I'll definitely consider your advice.
