Defender brakes worth it?

I ordered the parts from Justin before I left for the Marines last year. They were sitting outside in the weather for all of 11 months before my family realized it was a package for me (the currier had brought it to the back door for some reason which we never use.) Justin is a great guy! He wrapped it up in so many layers of plastic that I opened the soggy packaging and found my rotors and calipers to be brand new looking still. The pads have a little rust on them but that's no big deal. Question: I have my stock disco calipers on and I bought the +2" SS brake lines. Will these work with the new defender calipers?

I would NOT recommend trying to rebend your old rigid brake line. You're just asking for problems. And for the $10 to replace both why even bother. Depending how the rust is in your area you may find the fittings too corroded and an open ended wrench just slips off. If you have new hardlines to go in you can just cut the old line right by the fittings, then stick a socket on the fittings and turn them out.

Yes you can use them. The rubber or SS hoses go from the fender area down to a bracket on top of the hub area. Then the hard line runs from that bracket into the caliper, be it stock Disco or D90 style.
