From what point of the rear brake line would a new braided line run from, is it from the flexi that runs under the rear beam or do the braided lines replace that flexi aswell?

Its literally just the rubber flexis you would get from eurocarparts or whatever that get replaced usually.

If that makes sense

So there would be the solid line that then runs from the flexi to the caliper as normal?

Yup, anything existing that's rubber gets replaced, so the solid lines go straight to your new flexis. The only bit of flex at the back goes between the chassis and the trailing arms:

Rears:



Fronts:

The fronts are only like that on yours due to the Brembo's though? Normal front hoses go straight into the caliper. I suppose I better order some new rear lines then, I may have damaged the original one slightly Whistle

They are bent back holding the system full of fluid

The only cars that had a flexi line to the rear caliper are the s16 and very early xsi, but that design was soon changed to a solid pipe along the trailing arm and just a flexi around the beam.

That would be what I saw fitted then, I was wondering how they converted from the type fitted to my car, anyone know how much those two rear hoses that run from the rear flexi to the caliper...
