how are those Ebay SS Brake Lines ?

Yes its been asked before , and yes I searched but the most recent relative thread seemed like it was in 2008 . so since thing i imagine even ebay companies must of improved .

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mazda-RX7-FD...23430572096532

one of SS lines on my car is bad , and I was looking for a replacement when I ran into that I did a search and the most recent relevant search was from 2008

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...bay+brake+hose

does anyone have any experience With these Ebay brake hose lines ? it cant be that difficult to make a brake hose line . tons of local places claim to make them but 1 line cost as much as this whole set.

Rather than getting 4 new lines, why not buy a quality pair of either front or rear? I can get you a pair of front or rear Stoptech lines if you're interested for as much or a few dollars more than what the ebay ones you linked to cost. PM me if you're interested. If you're really strapped for cash but have lots of free time on your hands, you can find a local shop to make you a new SS braided line. You'll run into some shops that wont make you one for liability reasons but you're bound to find one.

I found a shop to make the braid its the fittings that are hard to find . and I may take you up on that offer . I'm going to check all the lines and make sure there aren't any leaks in them .. but I honestly agree with getting a good pair instead of 4 new shitty ones .
