    Are you planning to make these similar to the Tech AFX setup?

    So the update is this.
    I will make them out of stainless for many reasons.
    1. It will last forever and look good.
    2. If it was aluminum the wall thickness will restrict flow more then a thin stainless.
    3 I will tig the elbow on a straight and the bracket on the tube. This will give you a more flexible adjustment to get the lines in place and a strong mount.
    Downfall is the price is more then aluminum.
    A quote is pending on materials. If I were to guess your looking at about $80 with hose ends. Probably $50 if you use the stock hose and cut to fit the ends.
    None of these prices are for sure. Just a guess right now.
    With that price area if anyone out yet?
    Polished is free but you gotta do it! Haha (I hate polishing stainless) I plan on doing a "scotch Brite rub" this way you can scrub the line to make it look new with a pad. It's a clean brushed look but dirt sticks to it a little.
    I plan on ten sets. So far it looks like there is 4 yes and 1 maybe. So speak up for the other 5 soon.

    First I will order enough for one and make mine. Post pics so there is no surprise or anything.

    I'll keep you guys posted

    Considering the TechAFX kit is like $120, anything below that would be ideal, but given the fact that a single guy is doing this, price can change. A company likely gets a far better deal on parts and materials...I'm still in unless my issues develops into a larger one and I have to replace before you finish.

    No reason it wouldn't. I have coilovers also. But the hose is not close to suspension
