Thats how I handle it too *thumbs up*

Ready for reinforcements! (Garagistic just released some more, so I may re visit the front subframe) but here they are ready to go
Also got the axles off the diff
And had some stainless lines made today. Idea is to go right from the T where the main line comes to the union and run stainless all the way to the caliper
Was under the car and 4' should be long enough. We'll see how it works
-
I know that braided lines have less flex than rubber but there's no way it is comparable to a solid line. Any concern about a loss of braking power?
-
maybe. The way I look at it is I'm replacing about 20" of rubber with stainless & as for the remaining hardline.....one of my hardliners coming from the T was pinched flat....soooo hopefully it feels better after replacing it lol.
Side note: when installing my hydro many moons ago, I found a bunch of pics/threads were people would run stainless line from the hydro (mainly for looks in the cab) and didn't run into issues of being able to lock up the rear brakes.
I guess what I'm trying to say Pat is, I have no idea but I am definitely interested to find out haha
-
I like you answer lol. I wish you had a more solid before comparison for an indefinite answer instead of a pinched line.

It's pancaked m8. Idk how it didn't leak

Garagistic is really good at releasing brand new shit a day after I place my order.
Reinforcement plate for the control arm/ball joint spot. I will probably end up buying it because I have all my shit out of the car already. And I'm a sucker, what can I say
-
Does that spot usually crack? I don't recall seeing anyone having issues at that point. You would think the control arm would break before that cracks lol
Exactly my thoughts. Maybe in extreme applications of rage drifting and or fuckery (AKA you crash into a curb) it would crack
-
maybe the squirrel was trying to acorner balance the car for you?
Quoted because I find this amusing, and no one else made comment.

They will have a weld-in license plate mount reinforcement soon. My license plate mounts tore out during some intense Togue races last month in Kyoto
Weld in butt plugs to stop the butt hurt
24v for life

Reinforcements are welded in
Most likely won't be doing the garagistic control arm reinforcements as it seems like massive overkill
Next up clean up the diff, por-15 everything
-
Are you talking a out the cross braces that make them like z3m trailing arms?
huh?

I was commenting on this. I now realize that you meant the reinforcements for the front subframe=)
Ohhhhhhhh makes sense now.
Yeah, I most likely won't be doing them. It seems like a lot of heat to put into 28 year old 'not-that-thick' steel. I honestly have never heard of a subframe failing there either
