Good place to buy braided hoses and lines
I want to switch all my hoses and lines over to braided style. I know I'll have to get a whole bunch of new fittings too. What stores have some of you bought your braided things from? I was thinking maybe Summit would have a good selection but not sure how their customer service is in case I need to return anything.

JEGs is all i use.. awesome customer service.. super fast shipping.. great prices..
are you just going to braided for the rice factor? what 'all' hoses are you looking to change?
if you are just going for the rice factor (which is pretty much the only point for all braided) why not get some sleeves?

depends on the lines whether it has a function or not.. brake lines are one of the only areas i would ever bother upgrading to braided.
for fuel and most other hoses that would be changed, braided is pretty much rice/bling.
reason i recommended sleeves is that its a lot cheaper if you are going toupgrade switch 'everything' to braided lines.
also, for the brake line, the nylon braided (internal) push lok hoses will serve pretty much the same purpose.

I buy all my hoses and fittings from Summit. When I can, I buy their Summit brand fittings since they tend to be much cheaper and look/work just the same as Aeroquip, etc.
I put all this together with mostly Summit brand fittings:
