Default New brake lines

Through research I have found that no one makes SS brake lines for the 95-2000 models. So looks like I need some new rubber ones. Any idea where to get them for a good price? Mine are cracked pretty badly.

Doesn't the rubber lines means movement allowed of brake lines and SS would not work because needed flex wouldn't be there?

Or are you referring to braided lines?

There is zero flexing from the Stainless (braided line) which I would prefer... However looks like they don't make them for the 95-2000. So next choice is new rubber ones...
