I know this had happened to other members before but thought i should remind people again. The brake lines were cut by the upper rear bolts on the Stillen RSB. The upper bolts on the rear most bracket is suppose to installed facing outward, towards the tire.

My mechanics didn't read the instruction carefully (and I specifically stressed about this when i had them put it on last year). Only found out this weekend when i took the wheel off to clean it. After 8 months, my brakelines were cut. The cuts are deep, luckily didn't cut through. But i'll prolly end up replacing them sometime down the road.

I just want to bring my lesson to remind our members, PLS PLS be careful when you install the Stillen RSB.

Here's a link to the picture of my cut brakline:

yeah...it is important that those bolts face the right direction. Paul2kGXE has pics of the same thing on his web page.

 

Sorry about your brakeline.
I guess it goes to show that if you want it done
right, you gotta do it yourself.
Warning noted. But if you follow Stillen's instructions
or Russ' writeup, you should be fine.

 

Opps, I meant Paul2kGXe's writeup...

 

Time to get some SS lines at Maxima Day, Jerry.

 

yea the best way is to do it yourself. If it's done by shops, make sure you inspect the installation afterwards. I'd hate to see this happen to any other max owners.
