Default Brake Line Problems...

Hello All,
I own a slammed 1987' Pontiac Bonneville LE, I sit frame on 14 inch rims. My question is since I keep ripping my brake lines on debris can I reroute them using braided steel lines?

i would recommend rerouting them, but if you must make sure the route you choose is safe and wont be crimped by moving suspension etc.

I have a guy who custom builds braided lines to speck and if you measure it out he will make you a perfect set.

I need to reroute them because of lane changing, pulling into driveways, etc. the car is too low for the brake lines to stay in the position that they are in. I seem to rip them right at the point where it bends around the fire wall and follow the chasis.

yeah that'* a good idea, cut it in the shape you need, cut some vent holes, chrome it and bolt it to the uni-body. One tight customization...

Great Idea
