Anyone know where you can get those braided stainless brake flex hoses? I'm assuming I need some metric connection size. These would be for '96 legacy which is getting outback struts and springs; the hoses look OK; maybe I should just leave them alone?

any high-po place should carry them, i know Rallitek has them, i got a set of Goodrich from a guy in florida, i havn't gotten the system blead yet, so i can't tell you how well they work but i've only heard good things about them.

 

If you're going to taller struts, you should go with the longer lines, any Subaru set will do, provided that you already have rear disc brakes. <-- if you're also doing the rear

Thanks. Well this is the brighton so the rear brakes are drum. I just figured I'd price out the stainless braided since I see new OE rubber covered flex hoses ain't cheap but considering their safety criticality and pressures they need to withstand I guess I don't want cheap.

I got mine for my 97 OB from cyberauto about 6 yrs ago. I see the website still exists, but haven't looked further.

 

They did remove most of that mushy feel that these cars have in their brake system. (Dual diaphram booster...?)

Edit... Per following post. Technafit... I think that was the brand I got from Cyberauto.

I used technafit lines on one of my Hondas last year. They were really well made and realtively inexpensive. Here's a link to one of the websites that carries them:
