Try any foreign car parts outlet.

I recommend you not bother. The fabric/rubber ones are very good. I 
believe the fancy ones are just a way to separate you from an 
embarrasing amount of money. Of course there will be people who jump 
up and shout about how much better their brakes are after they 
rebuilt them with the fancy lines, but they have invariably done 
other things at the same time. It's also likely that they replaced 
old, BAD, hoses with new fancy hoses; this is likely to have been a 
good thing, but new ordinary hoses would have given an equal 
improvement.
