A good reason to run braided lines on rear disk. Ouch!
I just recently swapped to Dr. Diff rear disks. They went on without a hitch.....until I started driving the car. Apparently you can't run these with a narrowed rear and also lowered. I found this out the hard way of course but avoided any catastrophe luckily. This was not something I was looking for and just happened to notice it. The brake lines will get pinched and the calipers will hit the frame. It can be fixed but this really sucks. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone else doing this type of build. You're better off with a brake setup that doesn't have a caliper that is so long. Had it not been for those braided lines, I probably would have lost all brake fluid, then brakes, and wrecked the car. I don't care that the lines cost more now. Worth every single penny.
