I'm thinking about buying these lines but the two rear lines look like they're missing the middle section where you clip onto the strut body.

Anyone have tried this band, did it fit? How was the ride? Did they include the rear lines correctly for rear disc?

 

I've had s/s lines for several years now and I'm pretty certain my rear lines don't have the part to mount it to the strut body. I just zip-tied them. The s/s lines actually make a pretty noticeable difference in pedal feel

 

James, do you think that ebay kit will fit my 94 GXE with rear disc? When screwing those lines on do you have to use teflon tape to prevent leak?

 

The pic at the top is an unknown brand, but the ones at the bottom (with the black plastic strain-relief bushings) are Techna-fit lines.
I've sold several hundred sets of Techna-fit lines over the last 6 years and have never had a problem with them when they were installed properly. (I did have some issues with idjits not installing them properly and ruptured lines because they rubbed on the inside of the wheel.)

 

I don't see why it wouldn't fit. I mean, the fittings look right, although the guy says the pic is merely a "representation". I'd be more worried about quality than fitment.

Like Matt pointed out, his auction shows two different brands. You might want to check with him and make sure you'd actually be receiving the Techna-fit brand

 

When i bought my S/S Lines (from ebay), the picture was different than what i got. The picture showed the ones at the top, but i got the ones at the bottom (The Techna-Fit lines), so all went well.

Dunno if that's the case here, but you could try to email the seller and try to get an actual picture or more information about the lines?

either way, good luck, i'm satisfied with my S/S Lines.

Edit: this is a better deal than mine, as mine didn't come with new caliper bolts or copper washers, and i was worried about leaks.

 

How do you guys remove the rubber line from where it contacts the metal line? This is not where it contacts the caliper, btw. It looks quite tricky. How do you unscrew that thing? What's the best strategy? Anyone knows the size on top of their head? Techna-fit sent me a size 19mm but the largest flare wrench I was able to get around here is 17mm.

 

you MUST have a flared wrench.
it unbolts from the metal line....i think like 10-12mm. the banjo bolt on the caliper is just a standard wrench with two copper crush washers to seal them.

at no time you need to use a sealant or some kind of teflon anything.

 

I put the goodyear kit on my max years back, the banjo bolts it came with were garbage. I would reccomend using the original banjo bolts with the new copper crush washers, make sure you check the torque spec because I think its really low.
