These are $68 + shipping. I wouldnt trust them cause they are from ebay (but they may be good i dont know). For a little more you can get the goodwrinch lines that are really nice. I just think the brakes is something that is really important and its worth spending the money to get the best.
They seem ok, Ive never heard of that brand though.
Their still braided lines and as long as their long enough fitment wise they should be fine.
The actual fittings are basic banjo fittings so that should be no issue.
The only thing I could see happeing would be the steel braiding fraying which I highly doubt.
Thats a cheap price, wouldnt hurt to try them out. If not check on Tecknafit (sp?) Their supposed to be ok. Or you can go with the Goodridge, thats what I have.
The Stillen Lines are Goodridge lines as well.

Mmmm maybe slightly, you wouldnt even notice it its so minimal.
The braking is a bit stiffer in the pedal.
SS brake lines dont expand like the rubber hoses.
Automax (or something) in the GD forum has technafit ones for $80 shipped. I heard somewhere (I may have asked automax) that technafit is actually owned by the same people as goodridge, but I'm really not sure if that's true or not (as I don't remember what the source was). I'd say get those though.

Why are they worthless?
For 80-100 bux its really not a bad mod. Considering the stock rubber hoses have been on for at least 6-7yrs and your trusting that to stop you.
If you have not used them, you should not speak. Its ridiculous how many people give their comments on things they do not have.
When installed, the pedal is a lot stiffer. The braking is improved.
And they will hold up a lot longer then the oem rubber hoses.
Have you tried them? I used these lines in conjuction to my front and rear BBK setup. The lines are a worthwhile mod IMHO. Especially for someone with over 75k on their car. If you are going to replace them as part of normal maintance, might as well throw some SS braided versions on.

Geez, Just purchase whichever you feel more comfortable with. Their basicly all the same, braided lines with banjo fittings.

I bought those, I noticed a large improvement, but I also did cd/slotted rotors at the same time.
Had one issue with them, upon first installation they rubbed against my tires (front only), going to go rotate where they meet the caliper right now actually, peace
