Brakes are a safety system. Check and examine every part and every
aspect of the brake system - assume nothing.
I would not think the SS hoses are the problem but again assume nothing.
Right now my thought is that you need to rebuild the Master brake cylinder and
or the brake booster too.
You stated that the car stops when you release the pedal - that sounds like the
Master Cylinder piston is moving back too slowly and not releasing the brake
pressure.
I once had something similar to this - the spring in the Master was half worn
on one side so the spring force and force angle was wrong.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Brakes biting
Iâ??m starting to suspect the hoses more. There was another incident that was
a bit different, and now that I think of it, points more to the hoses.
As I said before, as I was coming to a stop, with my foot on the brake, at the
last second before coming to a complete stop, it seemed the brakes bit a little
harder - like I pushed the brakes a tiny bit, even though I didnâ??t at all.
My initial assumption was that there was a bubble in the rubber hose,
increasing pressure. But I discounted that since it stopped immediately when I
lifted the pedal. When I have heard about this before, I recall that the
bubble kept the pressure up even after the pedal was released. But every
situation is different.
This other incident was also at very low speed, just after I lifted the brakes
and was coasting forward, I got a feeling like I was taping on the brakes
repeatedly and the wheel was chirping. It was very strange. I donâ??t know
the details to give more help on that.
One other factor, I have braided stainless hoses, that are smaller OD and ID
than stock rubber hoses.
