Rear BBK anyone?

i had them copy the stock lines and i got -4 fittings that go into the caliper. on the ends by the caliper i have them put on 45's. i havent had time to put them on the car but will be posting pics in here when i do, most likely will try to do that this upcoming weekend if Albert wants to go to his shop...where my car currently resides rotting away lol

My local hose shop, well known around here and all individuals that deal with hydraulics go there because they have a wide selection of basically all fittings even metric, made my lines when I deleted ABS. It's a Teflon braided clear jacket hose and uses -3 lines. I wondered if that was enough and I was assured it was. Paid over 700 bucks to have all the lines made. The lines are great and definitely work. Super nice pedal feel and the car does stop even being on stock brakes. Calipers have -3 fittings as well.

Good to see this is still being bumped.

Ordered two rotors and calipers from rockauto (raybestos and centric) and had one of the rotors bored out (the other one had a drum in the box instead of a rotor ffs).

Rotor won't fit all the way ont the hub face. Do I have to remove the dust shield in its entirety or just bend the outer edges back? Looks like the very inside of the rotor (where the e-brake pads are) is hitting something.

edit: Post #118 has it, have to cut the outer lip of the center part of the dust shield. Urgh, too hot to do this today.

^^ I am 90% sure Evo 4, 5, 6 use the same hubs but im not sure why you'd bother with Evo 4 calipers. They are just an ordinary sliding caliper and similar size to the factory A70 caliper...

They are plug and play. Ebrake stuff works but its real tight, I have to loosen up the drivers side stuff. Only thing I had to do was bend back the dust shield.
really? thats good to hear.

who makes decent quality off the shelf braided lines for 70 Supras? Do goodridge do them?

Funny you should ask, as I have a set (don't know why). Goodridge does make them and they look real nice, but I didn't think I'd be able to get the other part of the brake line apart without stripping or breaking something so I left it alone. I bought these on a whim and will probably just use them for backup in case I need to replace one when it fails.
