We’ve never liked the 8 piece Brake Line kit for a few reasons:
Too expensive. The more & fittings the higher the price
The 2 piece front lines require you to either cut the mounting tab on the strut or disconnect the lines and re-bleed your brakes when replacing the front struts.
The solution: a one piece front line kit that lowers the cost of the kit and simplifies new strut installation. Here is a pix of the new lines all together:
Side by Side Comparison w/original front 2 piece line and new Raptor 1 Piece Line:
Finally a couple before and after pix:
Pricing
$112usd **SHIPPING INCLUDED** (Continental US and Canada)
Canadian Customer Must add applicable taxes.
For now these are only available with smoked covers.
Thanks Chris (Xeno Omega) and Damon for being the guinea pig; taking pix and testing the lines
I will be updating my Brake Catalog to reflect this change; I will not longer be offering the 8 line kit as it makes no sense to be selling an inferior product for more money.
At the Toronto Meet there will be TONS of parts if peeps are looking for them...you just have to let me know what you want to see as there is only so much I can fit in the Yaris .
Hahaha...not this year buddy. Believe it or not I still re-visit this every few months hoping companies lower their initial amount. Although they have come down a little, it's still not enough for me to justify the huge initial costs.
do these have tags on them stating suitable for street use like the goodridge ones?
And is there enough length in the fronts for use with z32 4pot upgrade?

wish i knew about these before i had new lines installed...anywho, thanks for another performance item for our cars!!! i'll hit you up in the future as of right now, i need my diff rebuilt, and i have a reman brake booster going on, plus a baby on the way!
After inspecting my braking system from pedal to pad recently, I can really appreciate this kit! This is a great price and design. I'm wondering though, why not whack off the hard line on the rear arm and go 1 piece line from rear supply hardline to caliper? Then kit would be down to 4 pieces?
stop giving everyone else my idea's :zzzzz:. Too many little projects and not enough time...the fronts were the easiest to tackle. I'd love to get the rear done too but have a couple other fish to fry. Thanks for the kind words!!!
Haha, not to worry George. Lots of ideas around, some even in my head, but you are one of the few that actually follow through. I'm impressed with the range of items in your catalog.
Paypal received...order placed. Should be shipping by early to mid next week; takes a couple of days to plate the rotors. Thanks again for your business.
PP sent...thanks for offering all these great products and for answering emails and being promt on shipping. Alot of vendors could learn from you. Im glad to keep buying your products.
BTW my new Lowering DOBI's on the rear are perfect!...Putting my new 6 puck feramic clutch in soon. Soon as I find the time!
if you want a set I can get them made; I only planned on offering the smoked but have no issues getting 5 sets of clear ones made...I need to get a few other misc lines made so we're probably looking at about 3 weeks.
3 weeks is not a problem...i can wait...just to make sure..the lines will have the silver braid look with a outer clear coating right?...if thats the case. im good for a set...LMK when you get them in.

They were mailed promptly, and my son and I put this set on during the Thanksgiving break, along with a MC cylinder change/fluid flush. They fit great, didn't have/haven't had any issues with them, and they're an excellent replacement for the 25 year old soft lines.
