Default brake lines?

Im in the process of stripping down the interior of my hatch. There are some olive colored "hard-lines" that run along the bottom of the driver and passenger side doors and across where the back seat was. Are they brake lines or am I wrong? Also my car leans heavily to the drivers side, it bugs the hell out of me. It rides smooth and has perfect alignment so I dont even know where to look. As far as I know the suspension is all O.E. Thanks in advance

I weigh 206-218, but it leans even when I am not in the car.....so I like to eat......big deal.

Yes the ones along the back of the seats are brake lines. the ones going down the drivers side are fuel lines.

If you are able to do the work yourself, you could remove the springs and compare the height. If they are the same, you can swap them L/R and see if anything changes. Old, OEM stuff gets worn. The dampers shouldn't effect the static position of your springs unless they are siezed. Beyond the springs, I would be surprised if the rubber bushings could produce a lean that you could actually see without measurement, but I guess it's possible. Have you actually measured the ride height on both sides (you can do it at the jack points) to see what the difference is?

never actually thought of measuring under the car, I've only noticed it in the wheel-wells. Looks like the passenger rear is jacked up while the front driver is lowered. Its about a half inch difference on each side as far as fendergaps go.
