SSBC Quick Change and Brake hoses
Anyone else using SSBC's quick change calipers? If so, what hoses did you use?
When I got mine I could not find the Earls that were made up as an OEM replacement so I ordered Russel. Those would hit the brake line bracket where the flex hose meets the steel line because the fitting angled outward.
I put the stock hoses back on and noticed the other day while doing a starter that at least one side is also hitting the bracket.
My car is also lowered with Eibach springs.

I find it hard to believe that I can be the only one here with these calipers. I did search before posting and had seen where some others stated they were going to install them.
Did I ask a question that was too hard???

I am not aware of many people using those calipers. In any case how about a picture so the rest of us know what you are talking about?
