Hey guys... just finally received my HydroBoost and gonna make a complete re-vamp of my brakes my winter project... It is a '69 Charger.
I have 4-wheel disc brakes, will have a proportioning valve, as well as a line-lock.
Two questions for you guys:
1) Do you recommend Stainless? I think it looks better, but want to be sure it doesn't have any performance issues?
2) Am I better to just bend my own and buy a nice flaring kit, or does anyone you know of offer a good kit knowing I need proportioning valve and line-lock routing?
Thanks fellas!

Use nickel-copper (copper-nickel, nicopp) line. It's easy to bend, seals nicely, and is highly resistant to corrosion.

Here's one I made for my '55 Plymouth.
Remember If you flare your own lines, don't forget the flare nut.
I went stainless on my 69, but I bought them that way. If you go stainless and bend your own, buy a hydraulic flaring tool.
