Get the specs on the lines and go buy a bunch of it and make new ones. They sell the bending and flare kits to DIY. Or go pull them from another S14 if that is not an option.

EDIT: Don't post the same thing in two places, its not needed.

You could also get all braided lines if you wanted.

Just go buy a bender and flare tool and run your own.
The bends don't have to be perfect, just take your time and it won't be that difficult.

just hit a junkyard and get them... easy and no hassle on making custom lines

It's about a buck a foot of line, I believe. Any auto store should have it.

If you're careful, hardline can be bent around a small pulley, or wheel, or just about anything to use as a mandrel. You just need a flare tool, and the fittings. And maybe a small pipe cutter.

Don't go all braided, those can flex and still expand some, stay far away from that idea and replace the hard lines one way or another.
