nothing is impossible but why? a lot of brake lines. looks very time consuming. just get some rear disc.

That would most likely decrease the perforomance because it is not solid. Why in the hell would you want to do that anyway? Stuntin points?

ya, those lines are hard steel, no reason to replace them. I actually started a thread a while back about running hard steel even further, but discovered I could only get a couple inches more and it would cost way more than it was worth. Braided steel is cool, but only if you need line flex, otherwise hard steel is where it's at.

well my car was jacked a few months ago and I was left with a shell. they couldn't get the wheel locks off so they stole the whole break assy. and I was left with integra brakes. in the process they cut up (looks like with a blow torch) the steal pipping for some reason????? I've seen this steal braided set up in a race car in japan which had a adj proportional valve and was wondering if anyone sold a kit like this... earls?

Ahh... Good luck finding a kit, I've never really seen anything like it out on the market. You can probably find a place that bends fuel lines and brake lines nearby where you live. It should be cheaper than braided steel for that length.
