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! |

I just checked my rear brakes. The pads are gone. That was only two track days with cheap rear pads. I've never had that happen before. That's another indicator that I have too much rear brake.

Not necessarily. Also an indicator that the pad compound can't handle the heat. We have seen that issue when CMC cars went up to Stoptechs from LS calipers. |
