Stainless steel brake lines?

I think this has been discussed before, but I'm a lazy search option user (especially when it spits back 2,000 choices). Anyway can the srt-4 stainless steel brake lines fit the '03-'05 neon? Also will the stainless brake lines for a '94-'99 neon fit the '03-'05 neon?
The Goodridges are the only ones I've found advertised for the 03 to 05 neon and there're like $180- 190! While the srt's and the first gen's are only $90. So what's the deal? Thanks guys.

Ask Grambo, he has SS lInes on his car, I believe he got a decent price too

haha, i actually asked this same question a while back, and being that i'm too lazy to search as well...I think the answer I got was that the connectors on the ends of the brake lines were different from the ones on the SRT's...I have a link saved somewhere to a site that sells SS brake lines, but i cant find it at the moment...if i can find it later, i'll post it up...

Cool thanks. Yeah now that you mention it, I do remember something about the connectors being different.

NOPI sells them. I have yet to buy them. NOPI could not deny or confirm whether or not they would fit. They are frickin' expensive as heck to be questionable and NOPI has a shitty return policy.

I was actually just looking up info on this tonight, having found out too much more then what has been stated. I recently got a set of SS lines from a friend of mine who sold his SRT and never installed them. I might try them and see if they fit/work when I install my coilovers and control arm bushings. I'm alittle nervous about doing this because I've never bled the brakes before but I'm sure I'll figure it out. If I find anything out I'll let you guys know. Also if anyone has any tips on bleeding the brakes or changing out the bushings that'd be great.

^^ just make sure you keep the brake fluid off your paint

Good luck man, keep us posted.
Oh, and by the way I read that you are changing your control arm bushings. I still have mine from my energy suspension kit, but I understand that servicing those bushings is a major bitch! Anyway my question is, do they make a big difference in performance? Sorry, I know this is getting off topic.

Get these, they will work. Someone on the other ORG got them and loved them. He said he did have to replace his brake fluid quite a bit though, and still has yet to resolve the problem.

x2...I love that site - KaleCoAuto, for all those hard-to-find parts

I especially love the
