Installing them is fairly easy if you know how to bleed the brakes. I've never actually done that before, but I've seen it done and my Father knows how to do it.

I've got them. Bernard and I installed them. They're made by Goodridge. The install is not as easy as you may think, especially the fronts. The hard part is getting the stock lines off the feed tubes without damaging the brass fittings or the tubes. Getting the bottom fitting off the calipers is easy. There's also a special tool required called a brake line wrench that you're going to need. David is right, extensive bleeding is required, and you will lose all your brake fluid when you remove the first line, so buy a quart bottle.

I've got some Techna-Fit SS Braided lines and I'm gonna put them on sometime next week. When you are gonna remove the line, or a caliper, you can open the fluid resivoir and place a piece of saran wrap over it, this will create a vacuum and stop all the fluid from draining out (reducing your bleeding time significantly. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

Where do you get the brake line wrench???
