The best kit is the J&M kit. WS6store sells it as the rpmspeed branded TCS kit for 165.99. There are other kits, but they aren't as good or cost more.

How can I say that? Well the J&M kit includes the proper fittings, is perfect length, and has a clear plastic sheath over the braided lines. This is preferred on a road car as you can pick up debris and it can get caught in the stainless mesh.

Techa-fit for 150 includes this sheath, but the fittings aren't quite as easy to work with from what I understand. They sell direct on they're site and Strano carries them.

Flynebye and Kore3 also make kits that pretty much equal the Techa-Fit kit. I think you have to call Kore for a complete kit, so I don't know price and Flynebye has had some issues as its a guy who does it on the side.

I chose J&M...

I just ordered the Techna- Fit kit from Strano. I've heard good reviews on them and the price seemed good. Had I known about the J&M kit I would have considered them too. Both WS6 store and Strano are good to deal with. Hard to go wrong.

Yeah. I'd go Techna-Fit and J&M over Russel or Goodridge. Goodridge I actually have on my Nissan, and they are good, but you have to pay extra for the sheath and it's not a shelf carried item. And its way more expensive than any of the others.

keep in mind that if you are planning on doin a caliper upgrade (ctsv or Camaro brembos) you'll need to replace those steel braided lines again.
