Complete brake line kits? 1987 Iroc
What I am looking for is a link or reference to somewhere that I can find a complete braided stainless brake line kit. Russel is the brand I went with on my 88 but it wasn't a kit. I went to a local speed shop and picked out the lines and fittings to match the stock hard lines. I ended up replacing the entire hardline for the driver front and then replaced both rubber lines with the braided ones. What I'm looking to do with the iroc is replace everything- the front and rear brake lines with the braided lines. I know it's possible because the speed shop by me has all different lengths and fittings and that's how I did it before, however I'd prefer to buy a kit because I'm assuming it will be cheaper to do it that way. Summit has a Russell kit that has 4 lines in it which look like the replacement for the front rubber ones, and I'm not sure what the 2 rear ones are or how they work. I removed the rear end myself but I can't remember how the brake line worked for the rear because I had to cut it to get it out. This whole car sat for years and a lot of things are broken/rusted. I'd rather just replace all the brake components 100% because it isn't a risk worth taking when driving.
Worst case scenario I will go to the local shop and just measure the lengths I need and build my own lines again, I was just hoping to save some money this time.

Have you tried rockauto? They sell braided hoses. IIRC there might be actually 5 lines that can be replaced.
edit: Woops, not RA, I meant Oreillys ($156), they have the braided kits.
