I have a question regarding upgrading the brake lines on my 97 cobra.
In another post here, I read that it is recommended to upgrade your brake lines from the stock rubber to stainless steel.

It was also mentioned that Ford issued a recall to fix this issue. How do you know if your car was ever done? Would Ford still cover this recall?

If I need to do this on my own, what is everyone using that has done a brake upgrade to a fox mustang or SN95?

Ihave found these two options so far:

Maximum Motorsports only offers the front kit, $85USD

American Muscle has the full kit for front and rear by Russell, $135USD.

Recall or not, lines are old enough they should be replaced as a matter of good maint. Would opt for full kit.
