Rear Stainless Steel Brake Lines - Choices?

I'm very happy with my front WW Race Kit. Included with that are ss brake lines. I'm now upgrading my rear stock set-up with a caliper stiffening kit, and some pads (Hawk HPS, thanks Alex). I also would like to upgrade my rear lines to ss, however it seems that virtually all our options are for all 4 corners. I did find one exception:

http://www.stratmosphere.com/stoptech_mini.htm

For whatever reason, I was unable to proceed with my order online, otherwise I wouldn't be starting this thread. Since I was unable to order these, do we have other options to get just the rear lines, not all 4?

Thanks much!

I think you can buy rears only at www.stoptech.com also.

Thanks detlman for the confirmation. Since Stratmosphere is a vendor here on NAM, I'll see if they can help me out directly...

And from me too as Tony knows.

The TCE rear hoses will be about 2" longer due to their being designed to fit the larger 11.75 rotors. They'll work still here as well.

There are two types;
1. Banjo hose end- has M12 banjo fitting at the caliper. $110
2. Later M12 direct thread to caliper body. $90

*Priced based on using existing stock and limited sales volume. Sorry.

StopTech does carry rear SS lines. If you have a pre 04/03 build you need lines with banjo bolt. If post 04/03 the you need the "direct" fit lines.

Through 04/03 - Part # 85-138-5500
From 05/03 on - Part # 85-144-5500

I appreciate the p/n's RedBaronF2001. I have the first build week for the '03 (I wanted an IB MCS), so the banjo it is! I will attempt an order again with Stratmosphere...
