Just go have a shop make you some. Any compitant(sp?) place should be able to cut you some.

Stock brake lines are made of rubber, and can expand under pressure, like when you press the brake pedal. Stainless steel lines don't expand under pressure, resulting in a stiffer and more solid feel to the brake pedal, and increased braking performance.
