pbr brake swap/confused about lines needed

I have aquired a 87 9 bolt with 3.45 gears. I am putting the newer pbr brakes on it. I already have all of the parts except brake lines and parking brake lines. I was wondering what brake lines I will need. I have been told that they are different. I have heard(calipers are on their way so havnt checked yet). I have read that someone asked something about this and someone told them to get earls performance brake lines. Well, I talked to summit, and those replace the rubber lines. From what I understand the pbr brakes only had the one rubber line where it came from the front and connected to the rear hard lines, where as the 88 and earlier had another rubber line on one of the callipers. I was wondering which ones that I have will work, and what will have to be replaced. Are the fittings that connect to the callipers the same?

Thanks

Ben

That was quick. Are those the rear you are talking about? Also do they have the one in the middle that connects the body line to the rear? What year is your car and is the pbr setup stock or did you or someone else upgrade it?

email me. I have the correct prebent stainless steel brakelines for your conversion. I also have the brackets you will need to install the lines. I even have the pricey stainless steel flex lines. Parking brake cables,. etc

Do you have the correct backing plates to attach the PBR calipers?

Thanx,ANDYZ28

Yup, have the plates. Sent you mail. Oh, and are the flex lines the whole thing, or just the ends where it connects to the caliper?
