Hey guys,
I have an X sedan and I'm going to be doing some brake maintenance and figured I would replace the lines and fluid while I'm at it. I was wondering though, does anyone know the lengths of the brake lines for the front and rear on an X (AWD) sedan? I found a Russell kit at autozone (I have a gift card for there), but it is described as universal and I want to make sure it would fit an X sedan. I don't really race the car much (because it's a heavy pig that I DD) but would like to have more reliable braking if I take it to a track day in the future and of course, improved brake feel on the street is always good. I looked all over but couldn't find any good info as far as lengths for the brake lines. Thanks,
Fletch

 

I do not recomment Russel kit-first of all, it is unversal and fit is questionable, second-I have G35 specific Russel kit and fitmet is crappy. They really skipped on proper development and test fitting-they eliminated that "kink" in the front line for example and routing is very close to strut. I keep eye on it, but it rubbed on few occassions, stripping plastic coating off. No leaks though. On the rear they are quite short which creates a lot of tension.
Since I am going with BBK in a month or so(and it has lines included) I decided to leave it as is.
Get something model specific, do not try to save few $$ on such things as brake lines. And do not get Russel.

 

Thanks for the tip. I like the stop tech kit and it is about $75 shipped which wasn't bad. I wasn't really trying to save money on it but i did have a gift card for autozone so that's the only reason i was looking at the russel lines. I'll just buy the ones separately and get my fluids etc at autozone.
