j2ip Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I've recently installed my rear Brembos, and although the OEM style stainless lines fit, I don't like the way they have to be bent to fit. Has anyone installed other brake lines, such as the STi ones ? Would they fit or would it need something custom ? Hi PhilT, I am going to put a set of Brembo on my LGT is weekend. My question is how you dealt with the rear OEM dust cover beside the rotors. Cut the edge off? It take time.Band the edge? It doesn't look nice.Remove them? I don't want to do that.Buy a 04 STI dust cover and replace them? Do know the fitment and it is cost $$$$?Anyone of you can provide me a subjection? Please advice… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 If you mean the dust shields on the rears, just remove them completely. They are just spot welded on and pull off fairly easily, just remember to grind it smooth where the spots are and put some rustoleum or something on the bare metal.

Guest Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I plan on installing them tonight. Sorry it's taking long, been really busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ok. Installed the lines. Fitment is great. The length is perfect. The only small issue is the line goes very close to the arm - it's not touching it but the gap is perhaps 1mm, bit too close for my comfort. I guess potentially the line can move and flex under braking and rub. I solved it by bending the fitting (on the caliper side) ever so slightly. Note, my car has aluminium (SpecB) trailing arms and it's possible they are bit thicker than the stock cast ironers - people with stock arms may get more room there. Maybe Technafit could add slight angle to the fitting? Also I noticed that the inside finish of the flare (at the end that connects to the hard line) is bit rough compared to my Goodrich lines. I don't know if it is a problem since I haven't bled and tested the brakes yet. I hope it is not. Few pictures below - first two show the flare, the last one is after I bent the fitting, the earlier ones is before bending. Again, the line has not been touching the arm anywhere, despite how it may look in the pictures. Looks like a go - pending bleeding/test drive.
