You want 3/16" Brake Line, which is the same size as stock, and is most commonly used in passenger cars.

If you are going to be cutting and flaring your own lines, make sure you use a Double Flare! Thats very important, unless you want brake failure and/or leakage

First off there are no "breaks" in brakes.

Second, depends on what and where you are asking on the car. The 87+ cars use both SAE and metric lines.
