The diff in the flex lines is the more expensive one has 2 hard lines going to it,one for that side,the other goes across to the other side.It serves the same purpose as a junction block to feed both front calipers.

Last night I went down to napa and picked up abrand new caliper for $52, there was a nice $55 core charge so its a good thing I didn't toss the old one. I got it home and went to work. I slid everything into place and filled the caliper with a little fluid. I hooked up the line and tested it out. At first it wouldn't release but once I bled the lines it works great! I put the tire back on and took it for a spin, now it stops on a dime. For once it was a pretty simple fix but, I would like to thank everyone for their help. As I said before, saved me alot of hassle and headache
