Where is best deal for SS brake lines
Hi, new to forum and new to the 951 crowd. Have a 1989 951. Where can I get the best deal for a set of SAE stainless steel brake lines? Thanks!

These lines at Paragon are quite a bargain in Porsche parts cost, and their high quality too. I'm happy with mine.

I just bought and installed my set (well, 1/2-way installed) from Paragon for $65.
Great service. Talk to Jason or someone there to be sure you have the correct fittings on the caliper-end. If you have a hard line from the caliper to the strut bracket (like my car did), you'll need a different fitting than if the SS line goes all the way to the caliper.
I opted to remove the hard line from the caliper to the strut as I recently upgraded my suspension and no longer have the brake line bracket on the strut.

Funny, it seems like quite a few people have them but never installed them, mine are not installed.
I dont mind working on the car but a get real nervous when it comes to brakes, pads sure but anything else!!
Here is my ? What do you think a brake shop would charge to install them?

I didn't ask a shop, but assume 30-45 mins each for replacement and re-bleeding. It gets really hard to start the fittings when your gloves get covered in brake fluid.
