Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the car has all steel lines from the factory, except for the short rubber lines that connect the body to the caliper, and those you can just use the premade brake line packages for. I guess I just don't see the point unless you're doing really heavy racing maybe....

i would think all braided steel lines would be very expensive. you could just plumb all new hard lines.

Plan on your brakes feeling very mushy. Never replace a hard line for a braided line.

BINGO!


However, if, for some reason, the Camaro/Firebird kits out there don't have what you need, Jegs has some "universal" braided lines in their current catalog.
