Default Anyone here buy 99-00 Si EARLS brake lines?!

I ordered a kit for all 4 corners, and I got 6 different lines (Ordered 28L240ERL for 99-00 Civic Si application for my 2000 Civic sedan with 5 lug conversion). The fronts were very easy to install, however the rears got me very confused. First, there are 2 lines per corner...an inner rear line, as well as a rear left and rear right line. Here is a pic:



(The two that are coiled have already been installed, the other 4 are the only ones I'm not sure how to put on)

What confuses me is this: 1 of the fittings from the "inner rear" are both the same, and the only thing it makes sense is that the banjo fitting mounts to the caliper. The other end of that line is too short to reach the hardline located on the inner fender wall. I'm assuming that the "Rear left" and "rear right" are the two lines that go into the hardline fitting that's connected the the chassis on the inner fender well. Here is the retarded part: the other end of both lines is identical, so they can't connect, and I didn't get any other hardware with this kit. Can somebody post the pictures of their REAR lines installed because this is driving me nuts!

Here is a pic of my OEM rear, next to the two EARLs rears:


As you can see from the pic, 3 of the ends (Female fittings, accepting a 10x1.0mm fitting, the basic chassic hardline fitting) on the earls lines are identical to one of the ends on the OEM line...it doesn't make any sense.

Did I get sent the wrong lines?

Someone screwed up there, it looks like you have the wrong rear lines. If you got a male-male 10x1 coupler you could make it work I think.

^Yeah but the problem is the brackets don't line up, so in the end I'd have to use zipties and possiibly have the lines rub against the car. I'm just going to see if I can return them and get the correct ones sent back.
