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.

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.
