Default Stoptech brake lines = ok?

I need a brake line for the right side, figured best to replace both sides. The dealer wants $68 each side (CRAZY), found some on ebay from StopTech for $72 for both front sides. Wondering if this is good deal?

If it's their braided lines, then yes it's a good deal. A good quality full set of braided lines is about double that.

If you only need the two lines, it's not too bad.

Something to consider...Instead of replacing only two lines, since you're brake system is open and it needs bled, you may choose a complete braided line setup.

There's actually 5-6 lines (depending if your car had traction control or not)on your car that can be converted from rubber to braided lines. We've got complete sets that may be something to consider.

By considering a complete change-over, brake feel and performance can be improved.

Here's a link to a few of our kits. These are all DOT certified, I'm not sure if the ones you're looking at are.
