And then thanks to all the other input on this thread that helped me put together what I think is a rock solid install.

Decided to go with the stainless steel lines even though the assembly is a little tougher it makes for a lot of piece of mind. Routed the lines over the sway bar and to the driver side. This was done using one 90 fitting and one 45 deg, which allowed the lines to easily clear the sway bar. I didn't like the idea of the lines being that low on the car (crappy roads here).

Results, ECR track day and temps never got above 230.

This is opposed to my first track day being cut short with 280 deg temps.

Hopes this helps any others attempting this install.







How did this hold up? I think I would like to route my lines the same way. I am worried about the fittings being below the pan.
