Earls stopped making the brake lines! Heads up
Hey guys,
Just a heads up for yall. I was in search of the 28A180 Earls brake lines and wasnt coming up with anything on summit's site so I got on the phone with Summit.
The sales rep told me Earls stopped making all of the brake lines a few weeks ago. To confirm this I then called Earls and talked with them. A person there told me the same thing.
Was told whats on the shelfs at performance shops, retailers, etc still is it. No more earls braided SS brake lines being made

Crap, I was just looking at those about a month ago. It was a toss up between the Earls brake lines or the LCA's which were on sale. I figured I could get the lines anytime.
What choices do we have now other than Russell?

Re: Earls stopped making the brake lines! Heads up
I'm looking into having them made or putting a line set together myself. Stopping production of lines for our application is rediculous.

CLASSIC INDUSTRIES sells s/s flex lines, too. p/n's are C12253 and C12254, $144.99/set... hope this helps any one looking... i've used their trans cooler lines and they seem to be pretty good at what the do/sell, so gonna give it a try. that, and add some good pads at the same time.
