Default What brake lines to buy?

I want to try the "drop the shock down in the fork" trick and I would like to pick up some brake lines that don't have those heavy bolt mounts.

Car is an H3 car. Not daily driver, but will be driven to/from the track a few times. (Not on race weekends if all works out though.)

Thanks in advance.

My Goodrich lines are DOT approved for the street, and have a plastic holder with a screw that goes into a hole on the knuckle. HTH.

Other then the $129 price tag, that sounds like a winner. I know several people who have ran them with good results. Since the holders are plastic, they can be removed w/o too much trouble. Thanks for the info.

I wish I could remember where, but I had found them for $99 + S&H. That's what I ended up buying.

Here it is - I guess inflation's a bitch. They are now $109...

Edit: I know some also sell them with a platic coating - would be helpful in keeping them clean. Just a thought.

You can also try Ultra Performance in Tucson (800#) or Summit. I am using Russell and they are fine on the CRX. I have Goodridge on the Prelude and they have held up very well for the past 3 years. Both brands are DOT and very well made. Ultra Performance is quite competitive pricewise, btw. (and they race)
