When I converted my Burb to 4 wheel disc I used the stock replacement front to back line in SS which was 3/8 inch.

3/8 or 3/16 ?

Maybe thats why i cant find what I was looking for.. been searching for 3/8

I was under the impression you had to go bigger than stock when going to 4 wheel disks... does it matter that Im using the 4 piston calipers?

The tubing size you're looking for is 3/16. Most of the time, the Inverted flare fittings that are used with 3/16 tubing will be 3/8-24.
