Brake line recommendation

I'll be doing a 4lug to 5 lug conversion on my 88 na as soon as I get my tires and rims, and i wanted to know which set of Stainless steel brake lines to get. Since the brake lines need to changed anyway I figured for the extra 40 bucks i might as well go high performance. So if anyone has experience with using SS lines any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any DOT line should be about the same I'd think, I can't see there being much difference between them. FWIW I've got the Corksport ones and they're good.

I'm using the Corksport SS brake lines. No complaints here, feels nice. I liked the corksport because they have a clear plastic around the SS just to keep dirt and debre out, just gives you a little piece of mind.

I had mine made by a hose guy. Then again, we don't have off the shelf kits like you lucky north americans... I did get to see them being made, and tested and know they can handle up to 3000psi, that is piece of mind enough for me

and yes, you have definately made the right choice going with SS brake lines, they do make a difference over the crappy old rubber ones!!

wow this post adds no value ...

Alright guys thanx I'm gonna go with the corksport lines. I wanted to know what the good and more affordable brands were, cause although I like rx7.com it's a bit pricey. Thanx again.

I do beleive the Mazdatrix ones are also splasic wrapped, and are a few $ less than the Corksport ones, but I learnt that after I ordered.
