Default HELP!!!! HELP!!!! With Brake Lines!!!!

Hi guys!

I am having Russell brand lines installed on my 350z and installer's have run into difficulty. Could anyone post a link to video or photos of a line install on our car????

Also, I might have received defective pkg of lines...are the front lines supposed to be only 17" long in this kit and should it have come with washers AND ties?? Installer says that lines aren't long enough and stock ones are at least 24" long???

Sorry, but this girl has NO idea about any of this!!!!

Lastly, I only drive the car as a daily driver...NEVER autoX or even speed generally, so do I even need these lines or should I abandon the whole thing???

Thank you guys a tonne as always for any help!

Are you upgrading to a BBK? Why are you changing the brake lines? If you're not upgrading and your existing brake lines are not damaged then you don't need to change them out.

If you run the car hard i would change the lines without big brakes...Rubber lines blow on any system compared to steel braided...

^^ABSTRAKT: No, I am not upgrading to a BBK...just putting new rotors and pads in. So guess I don't need the lines???


^MikeEwithTheZ: I don't run the car hard...ever really. Still need the lines?
