SS brake lines - legit or no?

OK, I haven't seen a reputable vendor selling SS brake lines since RMR stopped. Thoughts on this?

Ebay auction

Mods - please don't move this. I'm not advertising, I'm trying to get info.

I don't know about the quality... If they are a genuine JDM they should be good. Any good brake shop or even a tuner shop can usually fab custom SS lines for you, I don't know how much they would cost though. These look nice, but I still don't know the quality without seeing them in person.

I find DSS to be shady. Like how they sell an RMR part that RMR doesn't even sell anymore. And how the rest of their parts are said to be RRM clones. I dunno.

Yeah, I wish I could see the Ebay ones in person. I don't want to drop $80 to find out...

I called them up and talked to them they are really cool guys... if you ask them they will straight up tell you they are selling RRM parts, cuz i asked them the same thing... and as for the RMR thing... they might not have updated the site as of yet... when i got mine they didnt even know that RMR had quit making the lines.

Ah. Thanks.

At least they're honest theives.

But I still love the Buschur approach:

Sorta like how RRM buys $140 Deyeme motor mounts and then charges $280?

Oops, I didn't say that.

Hrm I tried to order some brake lines from Protocol Performance (someone linked to them from a search I did) but they cancelled my order due to them discontinuing the product. Are there any other places that make the lines other than ebay? I'd like to change my lines when I change out my pads which should arrive soon.

Edit: I found these RMR brake lines from Intense Motorsports. Anyone heard of or ordered from them?

I found some s/s brake lines from protocol performance..... p/n PPPBL21

protocolperformance.com - i got them for about $150 and they come with lines for the front and back plus washers for the front lines. I think they are real quality stuff.

I tried ordering from them last week but they cancelled my order because they discontinued them. I just got the ones from ebay and also ordered some Rotora slotted rotors from autocarparts.com.
