There are different answers to this question and I'd appreciate if someone knows exactly what I need to make the stock OEM lines work with my Akebono Set-Up.

From what I understand the Akebono BBK uses a different banjo bolt than the non-sports? So I need to find and order 4 of these banjo bolts?

What do I need in order to use my OEM lines with the akebono?

Thanks!

I came across this thread and post but it doesn't say anything about any bolts? Does the hard-line bolt up straight to the caliper without any banjo bolts? There's only a mounting bracket for the rears and not fronts? Is there somewhere to mount this bracket if my car isn't factory equipped with the Akebono?...

If I purchase these OEM lines, what exactly bolts up to the caliper?

1. 46246-JK60B left front caliper hard line
1. 46245-JK60B right front caliper hard line
1. 46315-JL00A right rear caliper hard line
1. 46316-JL00A left rear caliper hard line

1. 55286-1MA0A right rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket
1. 55287-1MA0A left rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket
4. 01121-04761 bolt for mounting rear caliper bracket

There's no straight-forward thread that explains the process of upgrading to BBK. Just a lot of mixed information here and there. After the install I'll post up a thread explaining exactly what you need.

Let me know so I can finally install this BBK!

Thanks

 

Why not SS lines? I'd guesstimate that 90% of the difference in "feel" is due to SS lines.

 

I used the stock hard lines that you stated. The hard lines bolt right to the calipers with no banjo needed.
