DRM's are the best if you want to get rid of the banjo connections.

Many of the aftermarket SS lines(ie. Goodrich) use a very small banjo, but the Russell's(pn: 692190) use the large block banjo just like your OEM rubber lines. IMHO, the Russell lines are the best unless you pull your calipers off a lot, then a regular plumbed connection like the DRM's would save you on copper crush washers and give you the ability to cap the hose while the calipers were off.

I don't track the car and just a couple times a summer at the strip. Never heard of the DRM. Looks like it comes with everything to swap out the banjo although I'll prob just leave everything alone and go with the Russell

I would just stick with stock lines then. No need to pay for SS lines when stockers will suit your needs just fine.

I run Goodridge lines on all my cars.I wouldn't change them out just for a change,but when you do a rotor/pad upgrade,I'd do it then.

Good time for speed bleeders too!

IMO.
