Like the title says. Are there any companies that make stainless steel braided brake lines for the TC's yet?

unfortunately notI have been waiting for this for a long time. Some guys have gone to specialty shops and have had them custom made but no vendors have officialy released a set yet. I don't understand why I mean so many other cars with Brembo's have SS brake lines yet they just can't make them for ours

the only line that isnt made is the one for the rear caliper.
With a performance catalog you could easily make your own for the same cost a "custom" set. look for Goodridge hose distributors.

I have a set of front brakes off a "normal" Cobalt, and just from eyeballing the lines seem the same. So its possible existing sets of braided will fit our cars.
Someone get bored enough to try and let us know
like whyyoumadson said though... its pretty easy to make your own set from quality components. I used to buy all my goodridge stuff from speedway, mostly because they're in NE and I'd get it the next day.

The rear caliper lines are the ones that dont fit. TC rear caliper use a different routing for the hose than SC calipers do, and they also use a different banjo. front and mids ar the same on all cars.
what he said
Fronts are fine.
We have a pretty serious front brake bias anyways, so the braided lines up front would make the biggest difference.

I have had alot of them made over the years for hot rods and lowriders that i have built. the place here is a shop that makes clutch and brake parts
