And there's plenty of options for your extended brake lines.

There's an eBay seller in Brisbane doing braided line kits for Jimnys. We exchanged a few emails a while back and they where happy to do any specific kits or lengths I wanted.

In the end I just called a couple of local brake shops and I'm going to get a local guy to make up new lines and do a full flush on the bake system when they change over the hoses.

It's not a big deal to just change over the lines if you want to DIY. But my brakes have been getting pretty bad lately and the fluid is about due to be changed.
I've heard a few stories about people having dramas with draining ABS systems in various model cars.

I'm going to get the lines made to suit my car at full drop with no sway bar connected. I prefer to use the local supplier just in case there is any problems with the lines or fittings, makes sense just to get them to do everything.

Sorry mate, my local shop is in Sydney. :(

But the guys doing the jimmy kits I mentioned on eBay are in brissy.
I'm pretty sure they where "hel" brand or something like that???
They sounded like just a brake shop making up kits for online sales.

On the phone now and too lazy to link it for you. ;)

Hey mate, I just saw your post. Do you still have the rear line?

FYI anyone doing the fronts - Stock Hyundai Excel ones are ideal and cost about a billion times less than the HEL branded extended Jimny lines. Excel ones good for 5"+ of lift.
