i installed my spl brake lines on my s13 yesterday and i noticed that rear lines fit very tightly. it would have been nice if they about 1/4 of an inch longer, but there was no slack in the line when i installed them. maybe it was because the arms hung lower because the car was in the air, so the caliper was lower than it would be on the road. i'm just wondering if anyone else noticed this and if i have anything to worry about.

shouldnt be a problem since the rear lines arent going to move that much

my pedal became stiffer with the addition of spl lines and ate fluid. and the stopping power was much better with the hawk pads i picked up too.

yeah i got the hawk hps pads. there is more stopping power, and it's a bit more responsive.

since stoptech is like 5 mins away from my house, i went over there and got my slotted rotors for the front, and the brakelines from them. the brake lines is a really good investment .. i at least think so. those rubber lines flexs too much. the stopping power greatly increases also because im also running hawk hps pads and about to use project mu b force pads.
