Rear Braided/Stainless Brakeline Help. My Firehawk has Earls Plumbing braided stainless lines on it, and my rear driverside is broke. I am having no luck finding a replacement from them. I bought an OEM line on eBay for a Trans Am, and they sent me the wrong line. So any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

do you have traction control? if you do you will have a total of 6 flexible lines. if you have a non traction controlled car you will only have 5. they are different. i would call earls if you want to get a direct replacement for the one you have. i went with russels kit because they are dot approved. here are the russel part number. non-traction controlled-692280 and traction controlled- 692290. hope this helps.

Thanks guys, its a non TC car, only reason the one broke was because I was in a jam and had to get it pulled out of a ditch. First 3 weeks of owning it, was turning and didnt hold in the clutch long enough before I slowed down enough and she got sideways, I missed a phone pole and sign and slid into a ditch, only scratched her up a lil and broke a headlight bracket, mainly just hurt my pride lol. But ya live and ya learn.

^ I've had my Earl's lines on since 04. Was one of the first mods I did. Just a more consistent and harder brake pedal. Shoudn't be too much of a difference. And don't feel bad, I slid into a snowbank on black ice three weeks after I bough this car, back in Jan 03. Was leaving for basic training in two weeks and wanted to get my cruse time.
