    What SS break lines to use front and rear?

    I think I remember Eric Lukas (spelling) aka "lukasbmw" have some issues with the rear lines cause they route differently.

    What Ss lines to use for the front?

    What Ss lines to use for the rear?

    Thanks!

    When the rear conversion was done, I did not do it. I was wayyy to busy at the time and needed the conversion done ASAP, so I hired a tech to do it on the side. He told me the E30 SS rear lines (caliper to trailing arm) would not fit. Apparently he tried both the E30 and M coupe trailing arm section of line and neither worked...whatever.

    I took the car into a shop later and had a look with the owner. We both realized that rerouting an E30 trailing arm line on the M coupe trailing arm would allow us to use e30 SS rear lines...the tec was wrong.

    So:

    Use E30 SS rear line and an E30 rear trailing arm brake line section on the M roady trailing arms.

    FWIW: Watch out! The muffler rubbed on the driver side rear line! It wore it down so much I had to replace the one line. Make sure your driver side rear line does not rub on the muffler.

    See you at Bfest.
