The earls lines I installed the only thing that i didn't expect was I had to use a round file on the holes for the mounting brackets that hold the lines to the body just to make the hole a little larger to get the SS line to fit the bracket.

The Earl's are commonly purchased at Jeg's. I purchased my two sets there. The application states only 94-95 SHO's, but as Chris has proven, it will work on the earlier SHO's as well.

I have had them on my '95 for about a year and have not installed them on my '92.

Jason, just to clarify, this is a 4 line kit, correct?

I'm ready to install the light duty PBR's on my '95 but was waiting to get a set of stainless lines. The Earl's lines are quite a bit cheaper than the goodrich G-stop lines from tirerack..

I just ordered my lines from Jegs on Monday and recieved them yesterday. I've installed these lines on a 93, 2 91s and my 93 will be getting them next weekend I hope, if all goes well.

They were $100 shipped, and include all 4 lines. Each line is labled too, make sure you put them on the correct sides!

Personal Observations:

Earl's kit, V6 SHOs, rears:
It seems to me that the mounting tab is positioned in the wrong spot (should be nearly mirrored front to back on the hose), so will not allow proper installation to the strut tab without serious kinking potential.

Loop the hose around the back of the strut, loosely & zip-tied around the front, etc., but don't kid yourself that you're going to properly install to the strut in the back.
