      Mine came with 6 but where do the other 2 go? I only saw hard steel lines besides the 4 rubbers.

          the other two are tucked up above the rear subframe, they are easier to see from underneith

            Found them. I hadn't ventured my way to the rear yet, was just going off what my dad had said. Thanks, glad to catch that before putting everything all back together. We have the car up on stands on all 4 corners while we overhaul the beast. :D

              That's gotta be a first for Korman...
              The grilles really distract you from the fact that someone took a sledgehammer to the front end.

                This was a very helpful thread. Was uuc dot approved? Does it realy make a difference?

                  if something happens to your brakes and you hit something/someone and they find out your lines werent DOT approved its all your fault

                  otherwise, i think its no prob

                    they aren't going to check, unless you kill somebody, and even then, unlikely.

                    besides, most of the time if you hit somebody else's car its your fault regardless.

                    FWIW, UUC is DOT approved. They are really nice lines. My original IEs lasted 6 years without problems (not DOT approved) but I think the UUCs will last longer.
