Rear brake line upgrades????????

I bought the Earl's Hyperfirm brake line kit. I want to know if anyone makes a replacement braided stainless steel lines for the rear drums. For example the lines coming off of the drums going to the center line. I've been looking around and havent found to much.......

You're saying you want to replace the hard lines with hoses? Not a good idea, in my opinion...

well what i'm trying to get at is... Is there an upgrade for the hard lines such as better ones. Something that can withstand more pressure or anything like that. Or are the normal brake lines ok. I am going to be auto X and some road racing. and want to make sure I'm not gonna blow a brake line out. (maybe this is a little better explanation of what i want to do)

Oh, okay... I don't think you have to worry about the hard lines blowing out; if they're rusty, you might want to consider replacing them with new (or even stainless ones) from http://www.classictube.com . There's other places too that some guys have been mentioning lately... the set for the rear axle isn't too expensive in stainless steel.
