It never pays to cut corners by saving money on things. I should have bought the Stillen RSB as the Progress RSB trailing arm brackets are grinding a hole in the brake lines.


BTW, where is the best place to buy steel braided lines?

 

How did you position your lines after the installation? I followed the write-up by Olincoles

when I did my install.

I've had my Progress bar on for 9 months now with no problems. The two metal saddles are rounded off a bit to prevent bad rubbing issues too. Is that what you're having problems with?

There's a guy on the .ORG who is doing a group deal on rotors, stainless steel brake lines, and brake pads. You might want to check out this link:

Peace.

 

I wondered if this might happen, and have kept an eye on the lines that run over the brackets. They DID rub through the electrical tape I put on there as a buffer, so I put on some urethane tubing (clear hose) around each line. End of problem (and at something like $0.20 a foot, it's still cheaper than Stillen...).

 

The best place to buy steel braided lines is in my sig.

 

how did u get the tube on there??/ did u just cut one side and put it over??? please let me know i wonder if this is a big problem on everyones car

 

Yep - I didn't even tape it and it hasn't moved.

 

just checked mine and it looks fine had it about 6 months now no signs of any ware

 

slice the tube and slid it on, to hold it in place get 2-4 small zip ties and secure it with them.

 

Ok I'm going to do the hose mod to protect it before the steel braids come in.


BTW got new rims! Pics to follow in a new thread!

 

You shoulda bought my RSB dummy!!!
