You can get pre-bent lines, but, they ain't cheap..... Or, you can get bulk line, and cut/bend it to fit your needs, (need a flaring tool as well....) Or, you can get lines that are 'close' to the right length, and bend them to fit. Just depends on how much work ya wanna do.

Default Brake lines

First, unless you know the condition of your calipers, replaced recently. Just replace them. FYI, what makes the calipers stick is rust and dirt, second. What brings the piston back ( retract ) is a square O ring seal, that deforms into a parallelogram, when the brakes are applied, then it pulls the piston back ever so slightly to give the pads room for clearance. So when they get old , the seal won’t pull the piston back, thereby causing the breaks to drag. Destroying the pads, rotors and calipers 👍
For the brake lines. Go to Harbor Freight and buy a set of flareing tools and benders. You will learn a new skill, save money and have self satisfaction of doing it yourself 👍
