Can anyone tell me iif Hel have sent me the right brake lines? All the onesI have seen so far have a 90 degree bend on them, these are what they sent me:

These are Steeda

Dang. They are already here! They must be correct. Do the stock ones have a 90 degree bend?

Wouldnt hurt to give them a call to confirm one last time.

They look identical to what i had. (Which fit the 6 pot brembo's aka oem gt ones)

The block on steeda's is 'new' and trust me, you wouldn't want to replace it!

Really impressed how quick they got these out to me, they made them yesterday! I actually emailed them and they said they are tried and tested and did no see the need for a 90 degree bend!

Thank you ! Glad someone else has fitted these before.

Easy to fit, what i will highly advise, is attach them to the caliper before you go to the main hardline, leve them connected and blocked on the hardline to rubber line connection whilst you sort it all out, lots of towels etc.

Also, make sure you remember how the OEM ones are "clocked" and make sure the new ones "clock" the same way.

Thanks for the advice! I don't know what clocked means but I will pass this information on to the garage!

That they kink / sit in the right positions to move freely without any interference (when the car is sat correctly under its own weight)

Are those the Bullitt calipers? I've never seen that parking brake (here in USA).

Ho, so we swapped the front discs for the lovely DBA 5000 2 piece discs today. Upon fitting we discovered the below! So question is, what do people make of stainless lines and who are good? Was thinking goodridge from JW racing

What are your thoughts on the performance and quality of the DBA 5000 2 piece discs? They aren't very common here in the states. I just found out about them yesterday and can't find much info. In fact, I can't find the part number for the fronts on a performance package, only the rears.

I had these fitted by a tuning shop, infact by the owner of the business. He checked them for trueness and then said and I quote here 'these are the best discs I've ever seen in my life, far better that the regular performance brands we get over here'.

The quality of the discs is simply stunning, I took a punt on them as we don't have that many options in the UK and it turned out well. Truly really well engineered.

It’s the Wilwood kit for the rear.

Clocked as in, say the "nipple" points towards 3 o clock on a clock if the caliper is upright, make sure it sticks in the same directions, stops kinking, gives them enough freedom when suspension contracts etc.
