stainless brake lines

[cbouchez]

I need to do a brake job on my e30 es

I'll be replacing front and rear rotors with Brembo blanks
Pads Hawk HP+
ATE Super Blue Fluid

I would like to replace the brake lines with the stainless lines while I'm doing the job. Any input? I know it will probably make a difference but where is a good place to get them.

Are they all the same 325is or I with the E models?

turnermotorsport.com or bimmerworld.com, they sell 6 line kits and they're dot approved

cool thanks man!

the UUC lines are also very nice and come in a set of 6

beware of cheap ebay 4 line crap

nando, who makes the clutch line? UUC?

[nando]

they sell one, I don't know as I have the stock rubber line. I have the 6 line brake kit though which is way nicer than my old IE set.

E30 VS E36 brake lines.


I have been searching for a set of stainless brake lines and I found out that in the UUC site doesn’t give you an option between the e30 and the e36 325
I have a set of stainless brake lines brand new from my e36 that I would love to use $$ that I would save.

Teflon® inner line covered with a woven layer of stainless steel
and covered in an abrasion-resistant material (translucent blue plastic covering).

Any of you guys have done this?

I got a set off eBay, what's wrong with them? I'm installing them right now, and they look fine to me.

A lot of the ebay kits I've seen were only 4 lines.
