Does anyone know when they started adding the other 2 lines and if you can buy them separate anywhere? I ordered mine from RN 2 months ago tops and only got the 4 lines.

If you're having that hard of a time with them I would just wait and have your Indy do them on down the road. Not saying you can't do it. I just don't see any need to break something when you don't have too, you'll feel a difference with just the 4 until then.

Drop the hose backdown and attach to ABS Pump, then attach to metal lines for rear brakes.
Yes those are them...and that's genius....thank you. I should have done this when the ABS modulator was out of the vehicle and I was doing the svs fix.

Thanks...I'll give that a whirl this weekend. Suppose that means I'll have to bleed the modulator again too!

Yes you will need to bleed the entire system again.

Here's another source for the two short lines, they are across the pond.

I orders the 2 lines form Crown Performance for $45 + shipping. I had to call them to place the order.

They also sell a kit with all 6 lines. They make them to order. You can choose color (9 colors) and specify lift.

The flex lines are a real B... To find, and to install.

I ended up getting some from AB for around $16 each IIRC.

FWIW: The way I installed them was to remove the hard line from the ABS modulator and drop it down so I could get to the top nut on the flex line. If mine hadn't been leaking I wouldn't have even tried it lol.

Thanks for the tip on the install. I should have said that the crown performance lines are stainless. When they arrive, I will be replacing calipers, pads, rotors and installing ss +2 lines.
