Default Need opinions on who has the best brake lines and parking brake kit.

It looks like I am going to have some extra money freed up. I want to redo the brake system on the car with all stainless steel parts. I would like to know who yall recomend has the best kits and prices. Do we get any deals on brake parts from forum sponsors? I already know what type of calipers I want so I am looking for SS brake lines and SS parking brake.

I used Fine Lines for ss brake lines,the cross over didn't fit too good. I picked up a set of gas lines in carlisle but haven't installed them yet. I used the ss kit from Bair's with success a few times. I don't like the ss shoes,stay with the stock type. I use a tab of never-seize on the pivot points too.

I have one installed on my car. It's an exact replica of a stock parking brake except it is SS. It's a great kit. It's the last one you will ever install (it will probably out live both of us).
