stock brake line question
« on: Nov 28, 2009, 08:25:02 AM »
Anyone know why these brake lines are coiled like this? It would really help if they were straight as I prepare my 3.4 motor to drop in. They are going to be in the way. I was thinking of removing them and replacing with straight/lines that match the contour of the body closer for additional clearance.

Anyone know why they are coiled like this?

are you using the stock crossover and exhaust on the passenger side or did you flip everything to the drivers

I always assumed they were coiled to allow for differences in body/frame movements.
