I paid $49 a side for 700mm long rubber ones on my lux when i lifted it 2"
PBR makes them to suit- look for your local distributor.
Legal Braided ones would have been $85 a side @ 700mm long

Re: extended brake lines
Yeah local brake shop can make up a whole new line from master or if yoor handy and have a pipe flaring tool just buy the steel line and the ends and bend and flare it yourself it can be a pain to bend so if doing this take your time or just pay then and it'll be spot on.ClintzLux wrote:had to crush the solid line from that wheel at the master cylinder so can that be cut and repaired?
Another thing is to just and re flare it using a double female and join it in back to the right lenght again all this should be available through brake shop. will find a pic of the joiner i'm talking about
plenty of parts on the bench
brake lines have to have double flared ends as they are a stronger more reliable flared joint.
shouldnt really just be done with a standard flaring tool, a single flare doesnt give much thickness for the flare nut to tighten down onto and the pipe can split at the flare.
look at getting the line you need from wreckers or get one made.
would probably cost less to get a line from the wreckers than it would to buy fittings to cut and join the damaged line

thanks for the tips team its ALLWAYS good to get friendly advice from like minded ppl or ppl that have been down the same road.
spoke to one brake shopo on the phone on sat and he said $60+ per side depending on the fitting type plus fixing the solid line.
will try abs tomorrow and get it fixed on my way home!
btw had to jump on the brakes hard a about 70kmh today and it just about changed lanes on me!
