New Brake Lines

Well...I haven't written here in sometime...I've had my 'Bird off the road for about 6 months...i put all new pads...shoes...rotors...drums and backing plates about a month ago...i went to replace a caliper today that had been sticking...while bleeding the front calipers my rear brake line burst...it is the one that runs across the differential and supplies the drivers side rear wheel...because the lines are old and rusty with the car being an 85 and dealing with New England winters I figure to replace all the lines...my question is are the complete brake line kits that companies sell completely bent and ready to go...and by complete is that all the lines i'm gonna need...thanx for the help....

yup...i ordered mine today to from finelines...25 bucks for the 2 rear axle lines...didn't think that was too bad...didn't mind bending new lines...but then to add the fittings and such...just easier to do it this way...i hope that they ship it quickly myself...cause i need the car...not that i mind borrowing my dads 97 eldorado with 275 horse and all...i'd much rather have the 2.8 on the road...thanx for the help guys...
