is anyone having this problem? the capscrews on the stillen rsb are starting to wear on my stainless steel brake lines. the braded steel is starting to rip.. i installed the rear sway bar with the cap screws facing the middle of the car and the buts facing the outside of the car.. is anyone else having the same problem??? it only seems like the driver's side is doing this.. should i worry about my lines bursting anytime soon? it doesn't look tha tbad.

 

how bad was the rubbing?

 

hmmm.... my SS brakelines are ok so far, but I need to double check now that you mentioned this.

 

remedy immediately before it burst and you have NO BRAKES.

 

Yeah definitely check it out.. Mines bursted on me when I was on the rode. That was some scary ****!!!! I think I fixed mines by reversing the bolts...

 

if i reverse the bolts it'll rub even more.. it just seems like the cap screw severed the stainless steel.. it hasn't rubbed that far through yet.. how much is it for just ONE stainless steel brake line?

 

I don't think you can buy just one. They come in a pack of 4. I had to buy a whole set for mines. Got it from Phuong at Eatricezone So I only used the rear. I still have a pair for the fronts brand new.

 

Maybe wrap the head of the cap screw with some duct tape. Conversely, you could wrap the brake line with tape or with rubber heater hose to protect it.

 

your brake lines should be sticking like a good inch away from the control arm. Or do they not fit in that mounting bracket that the rubber ones did?

 

With the stillen RSB, the upper right bolt is like a mm or 2 from the brake line. It will rub occassionally.

 

hmmm.... my RSB brackets are kind of close to the brake lines also... I think to be safe you should try using some rubber hose around part of the brake lines or the RSB bracket.

 

It shouldn't if you used the spacers, mine have great clearance.

 

the spacers are for the handbrake cable..

i figured what was wrong... it was bad installation.. when i installed the steel braded lines i mounted them wrong (the part that bolts the hard hose to the brake lines). the brake lines are suppose to be slightly angled towards the middle of the car.. i'm going to fix it tonight.. thanx everybody for your feedback

took mine off altogether

 

wasn't bad install... it just didnt' work right.. i bent the bracket that holds the brake lines (the one with the clip) now the brake line clears the bolt by over 1"

 

to be safe, you should maybe wrap up the SS brakeline with duct tape or electical tape. Then you can see if it still touches or rubs. does that sound good?

 

it for sure clears it by alot now.. i just need to get another set of lines just incase that sucker decides to burst on me.. OOOoOo that means my freshly painted rear bumper would hafta be repainted.
