    Hello I'm kinda a newbie with this stuff and I was wondering if other guys out there have used this set up before?

    Iv been reading a lot on here and saw that a lot of guys have recommended right detailing.
    But since I'm a little short on money right now I thought I would give this a try depending on what you say. Thanks guys!

    That kit is just tubing, in a roll. Not bent to fit the car. Right Stuff is the way to go, the owner is awesome to deal with.

    right stuff

    I agree with Dave. You Cant Beat The Right Stuffs Prebent,flared brake lines and fuel lines, trans cooler lines. The Best Way for Anyone to Put Nice Stock Looking Lines on there Car AND most Importantly the Flaring is Done for You. This is a Spot Most Noobys Fail at.

    Sounds good ill have to call them and get it ordered then. Since im doing my front disk brake conversion I thought this is as good a time as any. I know this is going to sound cheap but I work at Starbucks for a living haha but how much did the whole car brake system and fuel line cost? Thanks

    "All lines are supplied double-flared at each end with S.A.E. specified male inverted flare fittings attached and are ready for quick and easy installation."

    they may be...straight, not bent but I think...not on a roll...:huh:

    i went with flex ss brake lines at the calipers and axle line. if you don't get a kit, get straight lengths from the auto stores. pretty easy to do.

    Thats the reason why I thought it would work since it says all you have to do is bend it

    You can just buy straight tubing with the nuts already on at any auto parts store. If you've got a bender, go at it, but what if the line is too long or too short?
