I've just finished doing my 5 lug conversion, but i'm not sure if the std E30 flexible brake lines will be long enough. E36 lines look too long.
What flexible lines have others used?

Thanks Guys.
1 more question, do you guys also run a E36 rack? As since i installed my E36 rack, it seems to have more travel, so this may stretch the lines further....Comment

e36 325i rack here, using SS e30 lines. No problems. I do also have TMS rack limiters as I was rubbing the frame rail with 235/40 17's.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.Comment

I haven't modified steering coupling yet, and I need a spare coupling to mess with, but I do have e36 rack sitting on the shelf.Comment

+1 for E30-fitment stainless steel lines. It's what I am running.
