Where is the best place to get them? Are the ones from BAT and spmotorsports the same? Any place have better pricing? From what I've seen it's $100 no matter where you get them.

Easy to find the info in a search. This has been covered before. Basically, when it comes to SS lines, there is minimal profit for the companies. That is all why they are almost the same price. A few have extra plastic wrapping to help stop rubbing, but the ones from BAT and SP are pretty much the same.

I thought I read that, but I can't find the thread for the life of me. Thanks for confirming!

Actually no. And a damn good question. Has nothing to do with price.

The differences are based on the thickness of the Teflon hose inner and the weave of the braided outer.

Some offer thicker Teflon, others have more and finer weave. This become apparent (sp?) when making hand made hoses that require the olive be fit to a certain hose size. Sometimes it's tight other times it's not.

Each of the 'big four'; Earls, Aeroquip, Russell, Goodridge, each claim to have the proper package. (big surprise huh?)

The reality is that ANY of them are superior to the rubber hose. But reality also is that the average consumer would never know one from the other...

So out of the pre-made ones for the Contour, did you think one might really be better? Or are all the $100 sets probably the same?

I have the Goddridge lines and they are fine. Like Todd said - you wouldn't be able to distinguish between any of them unless you have a digitally calibrated servo-motor, strain-gauged leg.

PS SVT PETE is selling some so maybe he'll cut you a deal.

Shhhh, I already have enough competition for them!

Same here...they prevented me from going off a cliff when I went to the Dragon.
