Mine came with the flexi lines that went from the calipers to the hard lines on the chassis. I thought the kits all did

you can mke the liens up yourself as there are 2 different types

best to find out the sorts of unions you need though, thread size and pitch etc before you decide what to do plus you need to find out if they have tapered ends or concave of conveexe ends in the calipers etc

ive made lines up in the past mate and the bits are quite expensive. maybe just as cheap to contact ap and see if they do a set for your brake kit - 3 door.

cheers

Bit early for a Saturday morning matt lol

Also make sure that the fitting that goes into the brake pipe has that clip slot in it as a lot of aftermarket lines don't and then you have to find another way to secure it to the body
