Corksport stainless steel brake hoses

First of all, mods aren't doing jack atm, what with all the golf threads some bot is posting, it would seem.
2ndly, a bit of a warning for any Ebay users on here.
I had some collapsed lines in the rear of my DE-GS after replacing a caliper. Got a set of stainless steel braided lines off Ebay from a company named Orion Motorsports. First; P/F tore at at the meeting point for the line and male end hardware on the hard line side during and Autocross event. When all was said and done, I had replaced the D/F two more times as well before just going with an OEM unit from a parts store. Mind you, this is less than 90 days after original purchase. Orion sent me a full set of replacement lines, but at this point, its more of a safety issue than the money i spent or the quality of the product. The problem is, the hardware used to secure the line to the lower part of the strut and keep the line in place does not allow enough movement when at full wheel lock and is putting undue pressure on the hardlines as well now while being pulled. I dont think they were ever the right length, otherwise the bends in the lines to get them to fit while secure would allow freer movement of said line. I will be attempting to get my full money back.
3rdly now
Im looking to obviously find a much better fitting set of lines to compliment my slotted rotors and new pads. Corksport hopefully designed these themselves in house and actually made them to fit our cars? Idk, their big name now, but I never had any problems with them getting some other parts for this and my 323 GTX. They want 100$, which with shipping would be about twice what i paid for my last set. Increase Quality=increase quantity. Any other suggestions for some SS braided brake hoses?
