Default Stainless steel brake line question

I was recently shopping for ss lines for my 03' track model. I have come to find diffent brands either use the same lines for the either the regular brakes or the brembo others have different part numbers.

stoptech,goodridge,earls-the part number is same
russell, technafit-part number is different.

what is the deal here are they really different. In my mind all these brands are quality parts(the stoptechs have that outer coating which makes them a little more desirable). On different cars I have used half these brands and never had a problem. So are the lines really different for the brembo and regular or are some company's hosing people who thought the gold calipers were pretty.

The lines are the same. The only diffrence is the banjo bolt used to attach the line to the caliper. My guess would be is the ones that use the same part number for both, come with 2 sets of bolts maybe.

Don't go Earls,
The banjo bolt has the wrong threads.
The OEM banjo bilts are too long.
I need oem front track or GT lines for my touring conversion

Yeah DO NOT GET EARLS!!!

I had the same problem with the lines having the wrong threads, and it took forever to get my money back.

Just get the Stoptech. I have been through a couple of different brands and have had numerous problems with them, Stoptech's will fit no problem.
