Clutch hydraulic hose replacement
I'm replacing the master and slave cylinder due to slow leaking over a few months. I've decided to replace the hose because the fittings on the end are very difficult to turn, especially at the slave. My question is can I use the SS braided hose listed on mamotorworks.com? It says it is for 91-96 and my Z is a 90, but I can't think of why it would really matter. They have the oem style option, but the SS braided is more flexible, so I'd prefer that. Can someone enlighten me on any issues with the braided? Much thanks in advance.

Yes, the 90 has the bleeder on top of the slave and the 91-95 is on the bottom.
The 90 hydraulic line is a 3-section line, with a rubber sections between the two pre-bent steel sections. But, the 91-95 is rubber with a stainless steel braid cover.
The 91 slave cylinder will fit on the 90s, as well as the braided hydraulic line. So, unless you're concerned about NCRS points, I recommend the 91-95 slave and hydraulic line for general ease of installation.
