How much longer extended brakelines do you guys normally get because i have done ruf and i know my brakelines wont be long enough.
They werent long enough even with a 2" lift
I was waiting for them to go SNAP!
Tried searching but got lost
So many links, only so much time..

grab a tape, flex it out & measure distance between caliper connection & hard line conneciton
But yes, 100mm longer than standard should be fine.
Be careful when you put the longer ones on & extend your bumpstops that you route them so they dont get pinched between bumpstop & diff. I acheived this by 'twisting' them slightly so they curved up out of the way...

if i get a chance i'll post up mine.
std vit long lines with a spring on the chassis to stop binding.

I used a really small occy strap to hold my lines out of harms way.

Except for the lug in the middle than can get caught up on stuff and pinched flat.
Just get new lines made, they're cheap enough.
