So Steve, is the total price cheaper than buybrakes.com? I forgot how much I paid, but it was less than 80 I think.

thats right
I've been meaning to put these in for awhile! I didn't know that's what caused my creep though! Thanks for the info! Edit: I should say, I didn't know this was a solution to the creepy creep
well for me it helped stop the creep. where did you get yours? did it end up costing less or more?
YEP, they dont have the fronts, the rears are 71.50 and you have to hit 150 for free freight, amazon its $51.85 free shipping with prime plus tax for the rears.
My totals were $36.87 fronts, $55.02 rears little over $90 for the set delivered with taxes from amazon. ebay has it for $54.37 and 66.57 about $30 more
I put extended SS front brake lines on my 4Runner a couple months ago - no ill effects so far. I have the rears as well, just haven't installed them.
I always beef up the brakes on my vehicles, it's something I don't compromise on. I've put SS brake lines on my previous WRX, STi, and FD RX7, always a noticeable improvement in pedal feel with no negative impact on anything. Not saying it won't happen on certain vehicles - I've just not encountered it on those.

Ordered the brake lines too. Hopefully it cures some of my braking issues. Might have a seized piston or two as well. Also ordered these to help stop the upcoming 315/70/17's. Should be a good upgrade over pads I have now. :: #1 Race Specialist in The World :: »

I don't know if they corrected the labels for the left and right, but when I got mines, the left line was for the right side and the right line for the left side.

Isn't that the best? Waiting and waiting for a part only for it to arrive and have absolutely no time to install
.Looks like I'll be picking up some of these, thanks to all the feedback here!

Oh, didn't know there was a left right difference. What makes our different? Length, shape?

i did two remote starters today and one alarm system..made time to install my brakes lines since I had to LOL
thank you, did that. they are not labeled. just need to follow the bends like you said.
they feel awesome. i have brakes! pedal firmed up real nice. i cant believe i didnt do this earlier. i have them on all my previous vehicles!
AGAIN: cant stress the need for a flare wrench, the rears is also a 10mm fyi

Steve, are you also going to change the rubber lines right above the rear axle to SS too?

no, wasnt planning on it. as long as this works.
So yesterday, i went to install them. got one line one the right rear. could get the left rear off. brakes felt AWESOME with 3 lines on it.
called up [MENTION=107885]kirkg[/MENTION] for tech support. he gave me some advice on how to get a rusted / frozen brake line off. it worked like a charm. i love talking to experts in their field!
Share the wealth. I have a feeling that Im going to run into this as well. You guys have convinced me to do it and Im looking at the brake lines that hokie posted up.

I'd like to know this super secret tip as well...

when explained to me. it was simple physics. about expansion and contraction.
tools needed at least for me that is.
1 squirt bottle with cold water that can shoot a percise stream of water
1 propane torch
1 10mm flare wrench, i think i mentioned how important this is in previous posts
i got one of these

In the above picture is the brake line and the brake hose. this is a top shot of the driver rear line.
1: remove the lower banjo hose first. this is the part that goes into the caliper.
2: i heated the joint where the female brake hose and the male brake line join.
previously, It was a SOB to get off, i couldnt get it to budge. if i used a regular 10mm box wrench it would be fubar right now.
3: heat it for a good 30-60 seconds till its glowing red. amount of heat used depends on the type of torch used. i did it for 45 seconds
4: i put everything down grabbed the 10mm flare wrench and the squirt bottle and hit the male end of the brake line. thats the right side. i squirted the part that i would be putting the flare wrench on. i saw it sizzle and steam up. after 3-4 squirts i quickly put my wrench on it and pulled it towards me and it popped off in 1/2 second.
i was fussing with this the previous day for 1 hour trying all sorts of combos.
basically the female expanded from the heat, and the male contracted from the cold water hitting it. it contracted just enough for it to break loose!
secret is loose!
