so i got these lines the other day and installed them. so i thought i might share my experince with them. first off these are very nice, they came with all new hardware so you dont have to look for new gaskets, or try to find the pesky spring clips when they pop off.
one thing i noticed when i was installing them is because they are stainless steal braided lines, they dont flex real well so start from the claiper first, then work your way to the hard line. also on the front lines there is only two mounting brackets instead of three.
so what i did was take the center mounts
cut this tab off
opened it up and installed it on the ss line
i felt it was better like this because the rubber thats on the line still rubbed on the coilover and i didnt want it to rub a hole in the line.
so on a scale fro 1-5, 1 being easy and 5 being hard. i would have to give it a 2 and that is becasue i had to learn the hard way to install the lines on the caliper first and then had to cut the old bracket off of the old lines, so the new ones wouldnt rub.
