Default Line lock / roll control

New to this forum , I’m looking at installing a line lock on my trans am I see a few kits that have Pre bent lines then I thought why not do braided lines instead ? Like with the hurst kit that only comes with the solenoid and wiring , you have to make ur own lines . Anyone have pics of theirs dun with braided lines vs conventional steel line ? Thanx

zero reason to add the large expense of braided unless you just want to do it for ***** and grins. Also braided lines flex/swell as they are just a rubber line inside, no reason to add another swell point in the hydraulic system. Few bucks in ni-cop tubing a few brass fittings and adapters and you're good to go. Remember the ports on the line lock are pipe thread so you need NPT to double flair adapters.

Cool , good point on the added flex on the system , I guess braided line is an upgrade when u have to run to ur caliper instead of rubber lines but up in the engine bay where u don’t need slack in the lines for movement I guess hardline would b the way to go 👍🏻
