where did you get the ss brake lines from and how much?

I did it the hard and expensive way cause I wanted real JDM TRD SS brake lines so 3 months and several hundred dollars... I think highonscion has them for alot less and c-one has them but they are just as expensive...

I also remember a thread that Earls or Russels was making some but that was last year I think...

Hope this helps,

Dave

Yeah, I remember Justin had made a prototype set that he did, and had Earl's make quite a few sets that he did for a group buy. Then some aftermarket business bought out the design from Earl's and has exclusive rights to them now.

Justin got rooked big time.

Anyone go onto tire rack and see the strut sets? I've not seen these before:

green stuff = CRAP

how do u know greenstuff is crap?

ive never owned any but i just wanna know if
your reasoning is bull____, did u install it wrong
or maybe u just got a defective piece

i had the green stuff before on my accord and it was crap. wore out quickly and brake dust everywhere. But my friend had the same thing but with the full setup(rotors, pads, lines, etc.) on his SI and it was great. No dust, lasted a long time and grabbed great. My suggestion is get the green stuff with the whole setup and not just replace the pads with stock brake setup. Just my 2 cents

How much for the pads and I don't see them listing pads for the scion xA/xB. So, do I just call and ask if they carry it for my car? Thanks

yeah just call them and if I remember right they were $90

Thanks, should I replace my rotors too or can I get it resurfaced?... car has 20k miles and I know brake pads are gone, but no clue on rotors. Thanks,

I bought some new OEM Toyota rotors had them crossed drilled, slotted and plated by Island motorsports www.islandmotorsports.com I think it was $75 to do it... but now I think they are selling new rotors already done... the shot below was taken before I did the SS braided brake lines
