Default Anyone running the Ebay stainless pre-bent brake lines

I was replacing my cab mounts over the weekend and one of my brake lines went. They're all pretty rusted, so I figured it was a good time to replace them all. I found a complete set of pre-bent stainless lines on ebay for $230 + shipping.

Anyone run these? Any quality or fitment issues?

Thanks in advance..

I got a set from fine-lines for my ss, they actually fit really good with minimal hand bending needed. The front right line is two piece to make installing it way easier than a stock one piece line which would be almost impossible. Also the rear line goes thru the frame so it goes in alot easier also compared to the stock line. The only major pia was getting all of the lines lined up and over the frame rail and installed to the abs pump, you will need a crows foot wrench to do the job fyi..
Ive also heard inline tube wasnt bad either, i put a set from them on my s10, overall both good quality and worth it if you need to replace them (which all of them do eventually thanks gm)

My work buys the whole kit from the dealership.

It's under 150 bucks.

Yeah, we've fixed a few NBS trucks with a GM dealer brake line kit.

It came with every line we needed, they have a coating on the lines like the NNBS trucks do from the factory.

Sweet! I'll call the dealer tomorrow. I figured the prices would be outrageous, didn't even want to call them.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Hate not being able to drive my truck, hopefully it will be back on the road within a few days.
