got a 93 s13 with 30mm z32 front calipers with stock the stock z32 lines that came on the caliper, they worked amazingly till now.

Today it started leaking allot by the criped fitting where the flex from meets the hard line, then failed completly as i pulled into the residence parking lot.

i heard that ur supposto install braided lines when ur doing the swap i didn’t.

What lines specifically do i need to buy so this does happen again, cause i honestly have noo idear, wat to buy.

Go buy proper conversion lines.

PDM sells them for $71.50, I’m sure SG or Varun can get them for you cheap.

I bought mine from PDM and never had a problem for 3 years now.

ok sick now i just need to ask which one to get because i cannot remember for certain which caliper’s they are all i know is that they are aluminum.  
i cannot afford to make a mistake and order the wrong part.

is there any way to properly identify the calipers visually

i think it’s the stock line that was the problem, cause it’s to short or something, but we went to the track a few time and i never had a problem.
