What a PITA. Ok so I haven't cut any lines yet. But I really do want to try to get this thing by installed tomorrow. But at the same time, I don't want to have a problem that I can't fix before I have to leave Friday for the track.

The rear line is a single 1/4" line. So I need to cut the rear line that's under the car, add a fitting and flare it then connect another one to it, run it through the trans tunnel and mount it in the ash tray location. Obviously then back down again and connect to the rear of the brake line that runs to the rear.

I've rented a flare tool before and it took me a couple of tries but I got it to seal. I'm afraid of cutting the rear line clean enough and making a good flare. I feel like that could be a disaster. Also, will I have a hard time bleeding the brakes with the prop. valve being mounted up so high?

I might just scrap this for now since I have a track day coming up.

Any help will be appreciated!

Strange. I'm currently running XP10s up front, ceramics out back, full bias to the rear, and LCAs with poly on chassis side, rod end on axle side, with a poly TA bushing.

With 675F/225R I could only get it to hop under very hard downshifts with no heel toe. When I went up to 750/250 I feel like it was a little more worse on too aggressive downshifts but still can't get it to hop under hard braking.

Now that I think of it I run 4 piston superlites up front with the biggest pistons they offer. My lines are all replumbed to be 3/16" line with AN3 hose front and rear, so I wonder if that is why my brake bias is different than yours.
