Apparently this kit that they are putting together is for the fronts. they have setup the braided lines a bit differently , so it does not foul on the rims.If you don't plan to get this kit, then the group buy for the braided lines is well worth it.

Not in mass production yet.I got to take some pictures and then email it to Matt, to see what we can get organised for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TITO Member 42 Member For: 16y 5m 19d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/02/14 09:39 AM Share Posted 18/02/14 09:39 AM (edited) How are Matt's brake lines finished, do they come fitted with proper looking factory mounting brackets and grommets so once fitted they are in the factory mounting points or a cable tie here and there?
