Braided Brake Lines Help

I am looking for a decent set of steel braided brake lines and found these.

http://www.designrt.net/lines.htm

Has anyone heard of them or know anything about them and the quality?
Seems like they have a good product for a good price.

If anyone has any info please let me know.

Thanks

Those look nice but it seems like they only sell them in pairs. Maybe I'm reading the site/application part wrong. I bought the Goodridge SS lines and I have no complaints.

Thanks - I have been flip-flopping between the Goodridge and these DRT lines.

I found that DRT is selling a full set (all 4 lines) for $90 with free shipping. So I am leaning more towards the DRTs just because I have a limited budget.

I guess that I will take a chance and see what happens.

The description for the Techna-Fit (DRT is only the distributor) braided lines sounds pretty good, especially if the price you saw includes all four lines.

I'm using StopTech braided lines on my front brakes. The only difference I can tell from the write-up of the Techna-Fit lines is that the StopTech has a plastic coating over the steel braided covering to prevent chaffing if the line happens to rub on other components. Stainless steel braid will act like a file if it rubs on anything.

I got the Cobb SS Brake Lines from Rally Sport Direct. Yes, they are more expensive than the others. A few things helped to steer me towards these though.

1) Quality of Cobb Products
2) D.O.T. Legal
3) Individual Unit Testing vs. Batch Testing (this may be B.S., but sure sounds good)
4) I had read some people had issues with their goodridge lines where they were not properly sized or something like that (check on Nasioc.com)

Technafit Lines sound really nice for a budget.

Personally, the ability of my car to stop is not exactly an area that I wanted to skimp on. I wanted to make sure I had good quality parts in there. Which is why I went for the Cobb SS Brake Lines.

Good luck with whatever you get.
