	and about how much they might set me back.

This question reminds me to bring to the list's attention Paragon
Performance, purveyor of DoT type SS brake lines.  I asked them for a price
for my 90q and they obtained an OEM set from Audi to get measurements, then
quoted me as shown below.  I would recommend them given their helpfulness
and willingness to take extreme responsibility for a shipping error.  Their
price was the lowest I found.  The lines I received, BTW, work well.

	The part number for the 1988-1992 Audi 90 Quattro 4 line brake line 
	kit is:  PLAQABS908892 and will sell for $68.95

	Take 10% off for car club membership and this will bring your 
	final price (not including shipping) to:  $62.05
	UPS Regular shipping is: $5.95

	Our brake line hose is designed to meet the DOT testing criteria. 
	It has a Teflon innertube which is Kevlar braided, then covered 
	with a Santoprene jacket and a final layer of stainless steel braid.

	Because of this design, you will get a firmer pedal as hydraulic 
	expansion of the hose has been virtually eliminated.
