I remember someone saying a while back that RRE's stainless brake lines hook right up to our rear drums with no problems right? Can anyone justify this again for me. Thanks

they do hook up to our rear drums. I just did it a couple weeks ago.

i have rear discs...
i am thinking of doing this upgrade also. can you guys tell me how different they feel vs. the stock brake lines?

Hey icjeclipse, how does the brake pedal pressure feel? Are the brakes more responsive or stiff, feels nice? Would you recommend this upgrade?

i don't know, i really can't tell a differnece. I have powerslots up front, drums out back, axxis pads and Valvoline fluid (suggested by RRE) and it feels exactly the same as before, which is unresponsive. Feels like my brakes barley work, my moms taurus brakes are stronger, more responsive, and have stiffer pedal feel than mine, maybe i did something wrong.

I think a lot of it has to do with the drum brakes in the back. And if pedal feel is mushy still, I think there is a way to adjust it, and maybe you need to bleed the fluid again? The setup you have should be pretty good, except for the rear drums...

Yep they bolt right on !!.

As a matter of fact, i wrote up a short proc a while back. look under archives "gzrs99 SS brake line) It will tell you excatly tools needed, parts that needs to be removed. I'm still writing for the front.

Any body have a pic of the rear brake capiler, i want to know ss brake line can fit directly

Yep they bolt up fine about 1.5 hour job

As a matter of fact I wrote a short proc. a while back check under archieves "gzrs99 -- ss brake install". It details tools needed, and tips.

After changing out the lines i've noticed better braking response,pedal feels more firm (stock brakes ,stock pads). Changed brake brake fluid to synthetic dot 4 brake fluid.

Any body send a pic of rear brake caipler, I want to check if the ss brake lines bolt right on?...

Thanks for the reply guys.

We still have a brand new set of RRE lines(front and rear set)and russell speed bleeders(front and rear set)for our cars. Everything for $100 shipped. We accept CC or paypal.

Use aluminum brake lines! When I did my read drum/disc conversion, I needed to replace one of the brake lines given that the mating lines from the new discs and the old drum lines (after I mangled one) wouldn't match. It was male to male or something like that.

So what did I do? I want to advanced auto looking for something I could dig up and found some bendable almuminum (I think they're aluminum form what I remember, since they bend so easy) brake lines with compressing fittings on each end. They're very generic looking and bendable to whatever desired shape you need. They also come in all sorts of lengths and sizes. These lines are going to provide the same firmness and durability of SS brake lines while only costing a fracitonal amount. IIRC, they only cost me about $3-4 for a line.

That's an idea I never thought of...might consider that man. Thanks Jason

i'm not sure of this, but its important so i will post it.
A lot of people seem to thing the ss lines will last forever because of the stainless steel. As far as i'm concerned they actually have to be replace more often (about every 2 years).
Remember, the lines themselves aren't ss, the lines are teflon. The ss is used to shield the teflon so that it won't break if it gets hit from a rock or whatever else.
