    Are you talking about replacing the hard lines with flex? That will work but it isn't really a great idea. Any sort of flexible line gives somewhat under pressure and will result in a somewhat softer pedal.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Yeah, I was looking for an easy way out so I dont have to get the tools and bend and flare it all. Thought they would expand, just didn't know how much. Thanks

        Buy Pre-flared stuff from Napa and autozone. That's what I did. Harbor Freight and autozone both sell bending tools for like $6.
