cheapest stainless steel brake lines and from where?

do your own shopping dude lol...if you can find them on one site or store, you can find them at another. But it is true with brake lines as it is with everything else...you get what you pay for.

yea i think your right they look good can you change these with the caliper on or do you have to take caliper off?

Beholder88 · 03-13-2009, 01:34 PM

Are you talking about the steel braided lines that go to the calipers, or the actual hard lines.

irondiezl3 · 03-13-2009, 01:51 PM

im sorry yes the steel braided to calipers i found a nice set on ebay and like he said pfyc im excited to get them just curious if you have t take caliper off to change them out or not?

Beholder88 · 03-13-2009, 01:53 PM

It would make it easier to take the caliper off, but I don't think you really need to. Make sure you bleed the lines when you are done!

i bought expensive rotor pads shoes drums i mise well finish off the job with these lines ive heard nothing but great things from everyone who has them! whats th best way to drain the brake fluid im assuming you should do that so you dont have fuid flying everywhere on each side?

cheapest brake lines? just ram a dirty rag into one hole.. then the other end of the rag into the other. some fluid will get there... eventually.

i don't see why you really need better brake lines. replace those when yours start to die/deteriorate. don't waste the money yet.

Beholder88 · 03-13-2009, 02:24 PM

The best way to completely drain it? Just take the hoses off of each wheel and put a bucket under them. If you just want to bleed them, there's a bleeder valve on the caliper for that.

Beholder88 · 03-13-2009, 02:25 PM

Steel braided lines will give you a little firmer brake pedal feel, other than that, I dunno.

cherrington17 · 03-13-2009, 02:26 PM

draining them will make bleeding them much harder....

but with a one man bleeder kit, isn't not too bad. just takes time. (autozone has one for like $8)

Agreed, try not to lose much fluid. Buy like a quart of it anyway, you don't want to re-use it after it comes out.

Sorry for this thread Crapping, but....

I got a set of brakes lines that I can sell to you,
I Have 4 discs, But they sent me a set for rear drums when i ordered them because I did not specify wich model I had....
So I had to buy another set for discs...
So I have a set of brakes lines for sale....

irondiezl3 · 03-13-2009, 05:37 PM

what kind from where name a price?

guiguilandry · 03-13-2009, 05:59 PM

The rear ones are Russell, The front ones are PFYC. IIRC.

I paid the set of Russell 150$ (the first that I bought) and the PFYC (the second) 100$....
I'm asking 85$ shipped to you... for the 4 brakes lines set

irondiezl3 · 03-13-2009, 06:07 PM

thats a sweet deal and a good pic but i made a offer on ebay for ss stainless for $55 or else id jump on that. if you dont plan on using them ill ask around if anyone wants them

Cliff8928 · 03-14-2009, 01:28 AM

Those rear ones won't work... That was an error on Russell's part.
