Goodridge. The kind that have plastic over the steel. About $100 bucks. All the performance stores have them and Goodridge can locate a dealer for you.

I got mine @ 1320 Motorsports in San Marcos Ca.
No doubt Importparts will have what you need.
Some synthectic brake fluid would be a good idea while you will be doing it anyway. I use the motul 600 something like 10 bucks a bottle ( 500ml ) 2 bottles will do the job.

These won't really do much for you unless your car is old, and the lines are getting worn. If you do buy them, get Goodridge and check them every now and them to make sure they aren't rubbing against anything rough. Buy the ones that are coated so dirt doesn't destroy them.

I mean Stillen SS lines. They have to be an improvement simply due to the fact that they wont flex as much as the stock rubber ones.

I got mines for $1oo from Brian at Fastbrakes. I don't even know what brand they are but they got the plastic lining over the steel.

If you want a cheaper alternative to SS brake lines, you go the zip-tie route, but that's a different topic.
