I've been wanting to order a set but there's something weird. the person selling these doesn't list that he sells them in different colors.

I bought a set of the stainless braided hoses from TFS, but didn't use them because, after sending the order, I found posts that point out that these one-size-fits-all "better idea" hoses really don't and aren't. Standard rubber hoses are of significantly different lengths, no doubt this set that "fits" your car consists of four identical, short plastic tubes with stainless steel braid around them. The rubber hoses also have lines on them to make it possible to assure they are not twisted. Their connection blocks are much larger for a better connection.

The original post I found was on a Jaguar forum, but since then there have been a number of Fiero owners complaining of stainless hoses breaking and leaking, some in very similar locations.

I've had some on mine for a few years, no problems at all.

For one thing, "Square end" cannot rotate, causing leaks. Fiero banjo bolts use low torque and easy for universal ends to get loose.
Use rubber hoses that meets newer SAE J1401 standard.
