I ordered from www.paragonperformance.com
Someone on the board (with more knowledge than me) suggested them because they are kevlar lined.
Dirt getting caught under the SS braid could rub against the hose in the line and cause a failure. The kevlar lining prevents this. It should also be a firmer pedal.
They make a kit for C4, $130.16. I ordered mine, and they should be delivered very soon.

Internet Racers Supply has the Russel hoses for $ 95.95. Might also want to change your bleeders to the speed bleeder at the same time.

I just ordered a set of stainless brake lines from www.exoticmuscle.com. Their hoses are also kevlar lined. If I remember correctly, the entire set cost about $120. I spoke with Trevor.

Carroll,
I thought about those crossdrilled brake lines... but the environmental issues are very much a concern...
but advantages of spewing brake fluid on the track helps set up the four wheel drift!

Re: (bogus)
I got the lines from 'vette brakes'. I was very dissapointed as the brass inlet bolts are way too soft for the
required torque. Also, the retainer clips are not particularly tight and the lines are two piece. I would have
preferred a single piece line. I had to use some of the original parts to make everything work. :cheers:
