so .. i was about to do it .. when i got to thinking why they put them where they are .. i guess what i need help on is ... has anyone done it .. im trying to do it to a 92 integra .. please tips and anything would help

 

anyone

 

What do you mean by relocate? where do you want to put them? You can pretty much run your brake lines where you want them.
I took the abs off of a 94 integra and ran the front lines about where the stock ones would go and the rears i ran through the passenger compartment(this is a race car) and through a rear bias adjuster.

The route to the passenger compartment came through the firewall down the middle near the shifter and out through the bottom front of the rearwheel wells right to the stock mounting position of the factory line. Just put grommet's where the line passes through any metal, and i secured them inside the car with rubber lined fasteners available at home depot or lowe's.

Oh and if you plan on making new lines you're need a small pipe bender, and a flaring tool, they are like 40 bucks i think from autozone.

 

what i was thinking about is that on a 92 integra the proportion valve is on the shock tower and wanted to move it to the fire wall now that would mean i would have to cut it back about 2 feet in piping .. now what i was thinking about is how will that affect my braking since i will be loosing some what of piping ..

 

it wont affect you at all

 

ive relocated my brake lines. braking power should be the same. braking power deals w/ how good you bleed your brakes, and if your piston in your master cylinder is in perfect working order, along w/ no fluid leaks where the lines connect.

with that out of the way. you can get stainless steel hardlines from EARLS performance at about 5 bucks a foot. the reason to get these hardlines is because the stock lines are made out of aluminum and are VERY weak. if you decide to cut them because they are too long, you're also going to need to flare them to put a fitting on the end of it. but when you flare them, they tend to crack. if you decide to re route the lines just by bending them, then you are weakening the brake line w/ every bend. if you're planning on relocating your brake lines, you might as well relocate them to behind the firewall and out of site w/ all EARLS plumbing.

 

brake lines are steel
