Steel Braided oil lines...
Anyone know a good vender to go through to get these?
I'm looking for the whole kit of course, all the lines for the car.
If you know a good brand that you have had experience with, please let me know what you recommend, and what you paid.
Thanks!

Ok, I'll check out the Corksport and RB ones.
Any difference between the two? As far as fitting them, I'm going to have them installed when I get the engine pulled for the swap, so really easy stuff.

Racing Beat and Mazdatrix have better quality lines, thanks to the AN fittings. They're also more expensive than the Corksport lines. And lines from a hydraulic shop cost much less than any stainless line. Just do a forum search and read posts by people who have used each of the lines mentioned, for how long, if they've had any problems, etc. A bursted oil line plus about 30 seconds of driving is a good way to force you into getting another next engine swap. Now that's expensive.

The AN fittings are nice, the corksports lack them, but people who whine about the install are just wimps. Its not that hard to get them to fit properly. I did it in 45 minutes in the parking lot of my old apartment.
On the fasttrack!

when slpin bought the ss braided oil cooler lines from racing beat, i found that i did not like the workman ship that went into them for the price.
we ended up having to mostly take them apart because the AN fittings werent pointed the correct direction, and the lack of intallation direction confused me for a racing beat product.
all in all, i give them a C+, i would make my own before i bought those.
peace

im in the same boat. not sure if i go with mazdatrix (AN fittings) or corksport (banjo fittings).
i installed the mazdatrix on a freinds car and they werent TOO bad, butthey were positioned in wrong direction like magus2222 said.
for some reason mazdatrix sell theirs cheaper than racing beat and on top of that racing beat sells their fittings seperatly according to the site.
corksport are cheaper but then again what if they start to leak at the banjo bolt or washer a few ys from now? while AN fittings dont leak correct?

Banjo fittings will not leak if you use new crush washers on them. AN fittings I would use that thread tape stuff on them or in my experience, they will develop leaks.

However the metric to AN adapters used on the engine will need some kind of sealant. In this case, a NEW crush washer.
