Do NOT add braided lines to your braking system. They expand greater then steel tubing decreasing firmness in your brake pedal.
Our ABS delete kits allow you to either re-use your original braided lines OR remove them. The less braided lines the better. Only replace rubber lines with braided lines. If you need lines, we can supply them to you as well. We can include any fitting you may need as well. The K-member lines would NOT be pre-formed as the ABS system is. There are too many variations of how they can be run. Best option for the k-member is to form as you go.

Here's something to think about. I broke a rod and it sawed the pan and some of the k-member into and came within a 1/4 inch of cutting the brake line. After that I redid the lines and made them go toward the front and under the radiator, instead of across the k-member.

Differences between the setups in our kits are primarily due to the solenoids cost. The best bang for the buck is the Biondo style.
If you prefer the Hurst name or appearance, then choose the Hurst style.

I hadn't even thought of that occuring, but you're routing up along the lower radiator support is what I wanted to do for the cleanliness of it, but now after hearing what happened to you it seems as if it might be a safety thing to do as well.
