now i found a link on a topic that discussed this before but the price was lil high
http://cgi.ebay.com/Mitsubishi-Galant-Stainless-Steel-SS-Brake-Lines-F-R_W0QQitemZ300197864087QQihZ020QQcategoryZ33562QQr dZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcm dZViewItem


but then i came up with a theory, since the dual piston calipers and the rear disk swaps comes from 2g gsx or diamante or 3g eclipse and so forth why not buy the stainless steel lines for those cars this way it will be way cheaper

are the lengths of the hoses the same?? it would suck if the hoses were short.

RRE has some brake hoses for cheaper than that first link

i dont know the length of any of them but i would assume that the last link would be the same since our cars are identical to the 3g eclipse

this link is for the 4cyl and that wont work for me since i will have the swap for the rear and then i would need the lines for the v6

This is true, it's easy enough to find them from there but I'll be nice and spoonfeed you.

what a smart ass u r lol well those would be the same as the last link that i posted in the first post since both are for the v6 mitsubishi they should be the same, 89.99 for the ebay one and is 101.65 which isnt much different

as i remember reading, better braking, less travel of the brake pedal if u r doing the dual piston swap then its worth it to do it all at once

i bought my technafit lines from boneheadperformance.com and bought them for an evo. granted i have the brembos they were the same as the stock lines. i got mine for $89 and the fact that i have dealt with them in the past i knew i wasnt going to get fucked on anything or get tied up in the ebay drama. hit them up http://www.boneheadperformance.com/

the best brake upgrade you can do besides doing the evo swap is to get slotted rotors (powerslot, brembo, stoptech), ceramic brake pads, stainless brake lines, and DOT 4 fluid. period.

this is the last link i posted in the first post and its the same company and its only 4 cents more on ebay than their website, so i would use the eclipse v6 or galant v6 application since i dont have the brembos

what i really mean is longevity compared to stock lines......i've done some browsing online a bit ago(back when I got the dual piston calipers in december) about lines snapping right were the line meets the fittings...that kind pushed me away even though the benefits are way obvious

Its funny I just junked those brake lines because that plastic! end they have on them is total shit. Remember: You Get What You Pay For! You really should get something that should be crimped.

I paid $145 for a set of these and they are top notch dam good lines

Except I suggested Tearstone because I've dealt with Russ a ton and I trust him to back up his products.

They are made by a company called VOXA, the only thing is that they have a banjo fitting for the rear ones as they were designed for the evo brembos. You should cross-ref the thread size/pitch between the brembo bolts and the galant rear line thread/pitch
