Akebono with Stock Brake Lines

Chuck33079

If you get the coated SS lines there's no additional maintenance, and you can feel the difference whether you're on the track or the street. I'd bet they cost less than the OEM lines as well.

The only SS lines I'd consider buying is the BF Goodridge Phantom lines which are coated. There are too many "cheaply" made lines out there.

I've seen what happens to SS lines and I've heard way too many horror stories. Car will not be tracked enough to feel the difference, if any at all. I believe the pressure tests showed about 1% difference from OEM to SS.

Upgraded Brakes From Base to Sport, Pics

I came across this thread and post but it doesn't say anything about any bolts? Does the hard-line bolt up straight to the caliper without any banjo bolts? There's only a mounting bracket for the rears and not fronts? Is there somewhere to mount this bracket if my car isn't factory equipped with the Akebono?...

If I purchase these OEM lines, what exactly bolts up to the caliper?

1. 46246-JK60B left front caliper hard line
1. 46245-JK60B right front caliper hard line
1. 46315-JL00A right rear caliper hard line
1. 46316-JL00A left rear caliper hard line

1. 55286-1MA0A right rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket
1. 55287-1MA0A left rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket
4. 01121-04761 bolt for mounting rear caliper bracket

There's no straight-forward thread that explains the process of upgrading to BBK. Just a lot of mixed information here and there. After the install I'll post up a thread explaining exactly what you need.

Let me know so I can finally install this BBK!

Thanks
