Options for upgraded brake lines 88 TC?

I was looking around and what is everyone running for upgraded brake lines at the caliper? Im getting a dragging brake up from and my lines are pretty ugly looking. Its for a 88 Turbo Coupe with stock brakes.

Russell makes some pretty good SS braided lines for the Mustangs which work on our cars.  If the rear brakes on your car are similar to the 5.0 Fox Mustangs then you can use the same soft line from the hard line in the center of the car to the rear end and then from the hard lines on the rear to the calipers.  Maximum Motorsports has kits but be prepared, none of this is cheap.

My suggestion is that you will not see much braking improvement with the stock brakes with the SS braided lines.  Just put new rubber ones on and save yourself a ton of money.
