I need to replace my brake lines on a 2001 Cadillac DTS, is it possible to find them pre bent all of the auto parts stores I have called say no, i have seen some on line but I'm not sure which sites are best to check I have had some bad luck ordering things online in the past. I need them from the master cylinder back. They were rusty from sitting for sometime and blew out. Also what else do you think I need to buy I want to be prepared when the guy comes to do the job.

You could try inlinetube.com. However I always make my own brake lines out of NiCopp line. Very easy to bend and flare and won't rust.

You can get pre-flared nickel copper brake lines at the auto parts store in varying sizes to bend yourself. It's really not as dauntunting as it seems. A couple weeks ago I twisted off a front brake line on a 42 year old Pontiac trying to change the brake hose. I got a new nickel copper line as @chuck tobias mentioned, traced out the routing of the line, then bent the new pipe in place by hand as I installed it. Bled the brakes, and was back driving in 2-3 hours. That was only my 2nd time fixing a brake line.
