    Just want to avoid the junk - looking for a recommendation for braided front disc brake hoses - not the OEM rubber, the braided ones.
    Thanks!

    Wilwoods are what are on both of my cars.They also have ones that work with factory calipers.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    I think I used the OEM rubber style and they have lasted about 20 years. They look like they could use a freshen up now though....

    Wildwood have different sizes; when I converted to wildwood from calipers I also ordered the braided lines, I think they were 12" and I wasn't comfortable with the length after install, so I just used the original rubber hoses. I put them on my buddy's 70 Chevelle and they came out great with good braking performance. Just make sure you get the right length

    Wilwood now uses "flexlines" - basically universal hoses with different fittings for the ends per application. At least that's what I found.
