    REAR ss lines for ix

    I was looking around online for SS lines for the rear of my ix and it only lists 4 lines for the ix. Is there something i am missing or are they not providing the 2 middle rear lines? It lists 6 for other e30 models just not the ix. I am sick or i'd go out and crawl under my car.

    the front lines on the ix are longer due to the ride height.. but our cars are lowered, so it doesn't matter. I've been using the IE kit (6 lines) with no problems. just look up the SS lines for a standard E30 and you'll be set.

      sweet deal. I have front lines that came w/ my bbk, but i need the rears. I will go ahead and order the rears asap. BTW are you rocking an upgraded master cylinder? I wasn't sure if our "special" abs caused any kind of problems.

        I'm don't know if there is another MC that will fit. I'm not sure how it would affect the ABS system, either - my guess is it would lock up a lot easier. it's probably not the greatest idea.

            considering the normal e30 lines will work on a lowered ix i am in good shape, although i may swap out the longer line for good measure. i will probably skip the group buy and just buy them. I don't think i have time to wait for the group buy. My front pads are falling apart so the car is parked until i get the parts i need, which includes new wheels unfortunetely.

              yeah I don't think longer lines are neccesary. unless you are trying to do rally jumps with your car or something. :P
