Great customer service, Jeff! However, I've just noticed that your link in Post #1 to purchase these lines now returns a 404 page not found (I assume because you have an updated product?), but when I choose the GT4 as my car in your car selector above, I see this brake line kit listed in the results, which doesn't seem to be right since the image suggests it's a 4-line kit and these appear to be 6 -- although the "See which cars this product fits" list does include the latest GT3, RS, and the GT4. I do like the price of that kit, though!
You may also want to update the product description and photos in Post #1 to reflect this updated design for simplicity's sake. Thanks again, will likely be purchasing a set soon!

That link, as well as the stock pic, are the original lines proposed to replace the rubber lines (but left the hard lines in place) for both GT3 and GT4. IMHO thats why members are asking for a 4 line replacement option for just the hard lines; 1/2 the price.
Thanks for your patience gents! Orders for the revised Spiegler six brake line kits are now open! We have a limited number of these kits that arrived Friday, and more coming later this week. Until we get them checked into our inventory system, they will show up as “not in stock” on our site. The best method to get your hands on one of the first kits is to call us at 704-824-6030 and speak with Daniel Stagg.
As mentioned previously, these lines incorporate the following changes:
• We added a couple inches to the front line to allow the caliper to be removed from a stud kit without having to unbolt the line from the bracket.
• The line from the bracket to the caliper now has an OEM-style fitting, rather than a banjo bolt fitting.
• The rear lines are long enough to allow for removal of the rear caliper when mounted to a stud kit, and also use an OEM style fitting.
*Please note that the images on our site won’t reflect the above changes until later today or tomorrow.*
Please also note that Spiegler did have to raise the price slightly on both the six line kit and the original four line kit. The OEM style fittings are considerably more expensive than the banjo fittings we had initially planned to use. The Spiegler fittings are not simply a flared tube end. They are a precision machined stainless steel piece, and as such are very costly to produce. That said, when you get your hands on them, you’ll understand where your money went. They are beautifully made, and you should be able to enjoy them for quite some time under even the hardest track abuse.
As always, thank you for considering Essex and Spiegler!

Gents,
We've had a couple questions about fitting the lines to the car. Something to keep in mind is that unlike just about all other brake lines, Spiegler's unique fittings are adjustable. That means no twisting or tension in the line, and you can maneuver them as needed when installing them. We created the GIF's below to show how the fittings work. The easiest way to twist them is to use the little blue plastic blocks (included with your line kit) and a pair of pliers. Then you can spin the lines to point the fitting where you need the line to go, untwist the line, etc. Hopefully this helps!

Can you recommend an authorized installer on Long Island?

For brake lines? If any tech at even a run of the mill shop can't handle brake lines, that tech would need to consider a new line of employment. This isn't like installing a Guard diff or ring and pinion.
