I got mine made to spec and have never had a drama. I don't think thy were that expensive either. Sourced from a brake specialist I think.

Go to a brake shop or local hydraulic shop and get them made. Can be legally done. I used to get my lines made this way.

But remember the longer the RUBBER brake line the more the pedal will travel. Some of the energy you put into the pedal will be lost in the slight expansion of the rubber hose.

yes its not much, but when you basically double the rubber bits on a car (rear and two fronts doubled in length) then it will add up.

This is why people offer stainless steel braided hoses as an option too.

lol hang on let me rephrase that,

Does anyone know what extra length they got over the ome lines. You just go up with your lift say, 2" lift = 2" longer lines

that might be not so crazy sounding :P :D

I got the Jimny bits lines. Delivered in 2 weeks from the UK for about AUD100. I am having them fitted tomorrow. They are stainless steel braided lines. Look well made. Will find out tomorrow what the brake guy says.

Guys,

Ome = old man emu
Oem = original equipment manufacturer.

You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

Just get in the car, Butthead.
