You're confused.

Any new caliper is going to be stainless steel sleeved. Your options are going to be lip seal vs o-ring. Get the o-ring.

My mistake. Thanks for the clarification. Yeah I've already acquired the rubber hoses. Any other recommendations let me know or paste a link to a caliper set.

Wilwood D8-6 front, D8-4 rears.
