Ladies and Gents,

What lines do I need to fit the Brembos to a Gen 2? The Gen 3 was a direct fit, whereas I think the Gen 2 runs slightly different lines (the connection to the calipers are different I believe), and as I cut the factory rubber ones (knowing I was going to put braided ones on), I'm now chasing some info on which ones I need.

Would prefer to ask the brains trust here than ask some freshman at the local parts store and end up ordering the wrong set...

Cheers,

Ben

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Ah thats cool then, thanks for the quick reply there Nick. So it would seem the lines are all ok. I'll get a set of GC ones just to make sure.

For the most part GD and GC bits fit without issues as the only real difference is the body not the chassis

Im running stock gen 2 lines with my brembos
Since you have cut the gen 2 lines you will need to get some gen 2 specific braided lines or rubber

gen2 or GC ones, the GD ones have different mounting to the strut and the rears are different.

Awesome. GC ones it is. Probably see the local parts store in a few days and see if they can get some braided lines for me. Failing that, Import monster should be able to hook me up with some STi ones, just have to find the part number. I've seen cheap braided lines fail, so not real keen on cheaping out on these.

Thanks for all the info fellas.

When I was looking for braided lines for my lifted L I dropped into a local shop in Bendigo who made up custom lines. For six flexible braided lines it was about $360 from memory (this was about 7 or more years ago!)
