Default Anyone go to Amazon Hose for brake hard lines?

I need to flare my brake hard lines on the WRX and put a new nut on it for the Wilwoods since the stocks are stripped so I need to cut off the old nut.

Anyone go to Amazon hose for this? Any other reputable shop that could do it?

hard lines homie, he's not replacing the rubber ones. he means the ones on the chassis itself.

and yeah amazon can do it for you. Just don't tell them it's for your brakes. Say it's a clutch line or something. they won't touch brakes stuff if they know it's brake stuff from a liability standpoint or something like that.

even thought stainless is better than rubber, it's worse than hard lines. stainless lines still flex a little bit, hard lines don't flex at all

Try Pirtek Tampa, they can do just about anything, a little on the high side of prices, but def. worth it

do it yourself, buy a flaring tool. as long as its not a bubble flare, you can goto harbor freight and get a double flare tool for $15

or parts stores carry precut lengths of hard line, you just have to bend them.
just bring in what you need, and they can match it up. bending it is easy, but use something to bend the pipe around like a socket or something so you dont kink it.
or buy a tubing bender.

Imports use metric tubing, which really doesn't work well with an inch flare tool. Trust me.
