I am looking around for a cheap but decently good set of brake lines to replace mine, mainly just the on that goes to the rear end since its rotted out. AutoZone is around $90 and frankly I hate most of their brands. I found a Spohn kit for $75 and am wondering if it is any good. Here is the link: http://www.spohn.net/?action=product&pid=1199. Thanks for any input.

 

Many members, including me, use Earl's lines. Recommended.

Good to know, I did not think of searching for Earls brake lines when I did my search for related threads . I just have one question about these lines. Is this the full line kit that has front lines, line running to rear end, splitter, and rear lines? Thanks

 

Buy according to your set-up and you'll get the number of lines you require. For example, I'm running 1LE's front and rear, so my kit is five lines (two fronts, two rears, and one to the T.

Ok, thats what I need then. The picture kind of threw me off. Thanks for all the help

 

Ok, I think I am going to go with these lines, but I just want to make sure on one last thing. Are these lines actually lines, or are they flexible braided hoses that will need extra supports? Thanks again

 

They are braided lines. All you need do is bolt them up and bleed--no "extra support" is required (I'm unsure of what that means). Check Spohn site for more details.

Just a note on the earlier discussion of Spohn vs Earl's...
Spohn is selling the Earl's Hyperfirm product there.

 

you could also try this company. they're located here in ohio, and a few locals have used their products and love them. i'm going to use them for all my brake lines and probably tranny lines. they do brakes, tranny, and fuel lines.

There was no discussion about Spohn vs Earl's, as Spohn doesn't make Earl's line. As you mention, he simply sells them.

Thanks for the info guys. I found out that the lines are just replacements for the rubber sections, not the entire line like I was thinking they were. Thats what caused most of my confusions (especially about the pricing lol).

I am feeling a bit stupid, but thanks for all the help that sent me in the right direction
