High strength or "legal" compression fittings?
 

I need to do a rear brake line repair and saw these new "high strength" compression fittings rated at 5000psi (black color instead of gold). Anyone use these or have any input on them?

Would you trust your life and car to them?
Get a flare tool and a union.

I have had a compression fitting on my rear brake line before and it scared me everytime I hit the brakes but it never failed. definitely invest in a high quality double flaring tool. the cheap ones will NOT double flare a stainless steel line, even if they say they will on the package.

Double flare or bubble?

Your factory lines are metric bubble flare, but you can always cut and flare a typical inverted/double flare union into them
