Brake Line Length

[bozo]

Does anyone know whether evo1,2,3 and gsr front brake lines are the same length or any other Mitsubishi's for that matterl?
going to get some braided one's made
or buy online if someone can verify 100%
and don't want to take one off the car if i don't
have to just to measure it.

Single pot and twin pot brakes have different end fittings for a start

I am using the single piston GSR brake line on my twin piston brakes as they both use the same banjo fitting, and the length is fine.

Cheers

if your going to use evo 123 calipers just buy evo 1-3 braided lines, they are cheap, cheaper than could be made up i reckon


actually you bought the legnum ones yeah?? do they have a banjo fitting on the caliper end?

 

[bozo]

Yep brought them and your old rotors
and yes they have the banjo bolt on them,the lines that came
with them are longer than the standard gsr one's
The reason i asked the question was that most stores stock evo ones,
when you ask about gsr one's they usually say (don't know you'll have to bring one
in ) which i want to avoid

get evo ones

i have a gsr with twin pot fronts and I just installed the HEL evo braided lines. end fittings the same across gsr/evo but the lines were longer by about 75mm fom memory. there's now just a longer bend in the hose between the strut and the inner guard connection to take up suspension travel - can't see any issue though.

Thanks boys, I'll track some evo one's down.
