Default steel braided brake lines

I need to replace my front steel braided brake lines with new ones. Any recommendations on who I should buy these from?

I have an 87 911 with 930 brakes

Thanks

John

Hi John:

I use the Earl's or Goodridge ones. Make certain that you get the DOT-spec ones.

And youare gong to replace them frequently, right? They can't be inspected like the rubber ones.

Replace with the rubber. Had mine for 27 years without problems. I considered replacing with SS but it sounds to me that your SS brake lines didn't last as long as my rubber ones. Just my opinon.
