Hi, I just got a kit a rear disk kit from a teg to put on my 99 4 door EX.
It came with rubber lines cut. I was wandering, can I just use some rubber lines from auto parts store for couple of bucks each? or I must buy new ones for an SI from a dealer or junkyard (which I'm sure they won'T sell separately)
So if the answer is YES, what kind of rubber lines should I look for? what kind of fittings, length... etc.

Thanks a lot!

what!!!!!! u kidding me right? u know how much pressure is needed to push that piston to stop your car? if you dont let me tell u: a freakin lot. way to much pressure for a rubber hose. get a line that is designed for brakes. the brakes lines are reinforced. the rubber lines arent. spend the extra bucks to get BRAKE LINES.

well, ok thanks, I understand, can I get a reinforced brake line from auto parts store? I need to know what kind of fitting and length to use.

DO NOT TRY TO GO THE CHEAP ROUTE WITH YOUR BRAKES. Go the safe route and buy a set of lines for your car. I replaced one of my lines a few weeks back and I believe that it was like $28. I understand the whole do more with less mantra, but play it safe with your brakes and get some DOT approved lines.
