| Stainless steel brake lines Has anyone tried to make their own stainless steel brake lines? I haven't really tried to research it yet. just a thought I had this morning. I was looking at getting some but quite expensive

| They are only around $300 for the whole kit from Clssic Tube and you'll spend quite a bit of time making those lines from scratch so it's worth getting them prebent IMHO.

| The stainless flaring kit is $395.00 from Classic Tube . . . pre-bent may be the way to go.

| The rubber lines? You just buy a Russell's kit. Like $130 and goes on super easy. You can't replace rubber lines with metal, you need the flex. Use the stainless Russell's lines Sent from my iPhone using AutoGuide.com App

| ^^^ I been thinkin' . . . and it looks like this is what might work for me. The hard steel lines look pretty good (no rust/road salt corrosion): and these: SB1015-SS Speed Bleeder Rotors are good - so maybe the Hawk LTS pads front & rear.
