Least expensive way would be to purchase hard line and bend/flare them yourself. That's my own personal advice.

The only hang-up you'll run into would probably be the fitttings you'll need. If you need replacement fittings, let me know. I can help.

Use standard steel coated brake-line, not stainless. It will be easier to work with. Standard line will last many many years. Your OEM lines are from 1998.

Good luck!

I didnt think you could even buy pre-bent hard lines still.

haha the brake lines on my truck just rusted through and did the same damn thing. It was my DD so decided to start DD'ing the T/A instead and worry about bending the new lines over summer haha. How long do you think it'd take to do all the lines?? Haven't looked to deep into it.

i just ordered the rear one (the metal, prebent ones that span the length of your axle) for my 2000 z28 from scroggin dickey. they said the only one that is available is the drivers side. the passenger side is discontinued from what they said. i was thinking these brake lines were different a few of the years though.
