I finally got my brake lines installed yesterday. They didn't go on as easily as they should have. The threads inside the fittings one the lines were the correct size. The problem was that the threads weren't started properly. I had a difficult time getting one of the fronts and one of the rears to thread properly. I ended up getting the front on with a little time. I had a lot of problems with the one rear line. I cross threaded the darn thing. I had to go out and buy new fittings, cut the old ones off and re-flare the hard line for the new fittings. It wasn't too bad. I was fortunate to have all the tools at the house.

The lines are very well built. If it wasn't for the threads on the fittings I would recommend these for everyone. Maybe I just got a few bum parts.

Now that they are installed I can feel the difference in the pedal. Regular braking feels the same. It is when you get real hard on the brakes that you feel the difference from these lines. I could feel the point when the ABS wanted to engage very easily.

This is where I bought them http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.m...tegory_Code=SI





Front before:

Front after:


Rear before:...ok so I dont have a pic of the rear before. Rear after:


The rears didnt replace the line I thought it would. I thought I would be replacing the line at the caliper. The kit replaces a longer rubber line further up stream. The line is just long enough and is maxed out with the suspension hanging. I really dont dig that too much.

This is the line I thought the would be replaced in the rear.
