StopTech SS Line Install and Pictures

One of the easiest things to do actually. The instructions were pretty good, but they use a 350Z for the instructions. When you disconnect the OEM brakeline from the car hard line, they have given you a rubber cap to seal off the hard line to minimize brake fluid lose. Mine sat there over a week while rotors getting PC'd and no problems. The rubber cap is in the red circle below.




Here are the OEM and StopTech front brakelines on the ground together.




I didn't follow the instructions exactly. I connected the line to the caliper first which made it easier to align the line where I wanted. Then ran the line up and connected it to the hardline.



Connected the two line mounts to the OEM mounting bolts per instructions.....done.

Looks good. So can you put these in and just go from there or do you have to do anything to the brakes since you disconected the hoses. Can air get in and affect anything? I guess what i am asking is could i order these install them myself then drive somewhere and get the system flush and higher temp fluid put it.

You could order them and install yourself, but you will have to bleed them to get the air out before you drive. Bleeding brakes is a snap if you got a helper some tubing and platic bottle, otherwise you need a bleed kit. Go here and look at the brake section for help. http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-seda...eo-series.html

True, I like the red but I like the detail put into the rotors. That's the level of detail that's not normally put into these cars.
