I am in the middle of doin the Z32 front brake conversion on my car and found a cheaper soluton to ordering lines from PDM or all the other places that sell them for like $80 USD + taxes , shipping etc. All the parts neede will cost about $80 canadian and these parts are readily available, i went to a local shop, Pro Stock (Domestic V8 shop) and they got me everything i needed the next day and i didnt even have to prepay.

I decided to use some generic Earls ss braided lines (24 inch) and get a couple of adapter fittings. Here are the part numbers.

2- Earls SS Braided lines 63010124 (Paid $19 each)  
1-Aeroquip brake fittings FCM2941 (Its a 2 pack) (Paid $13)  
2-Earls brake fittings 989545 (Paid $6 each)

Hope this helped

Thats great. Good find. Do you think we should put this into the “installs” section of the forum?

Pads $60  
Lines $90

Thanks for the info  
just a few more questions though, do they do the install for you as well? and do the earls ss lines work for the rear z32/r32 calipers as well? I’ll be getting a set of r32 calipers soon but don’t have much knowledge about installed them myself, is it a simple process?  
Thanks in advance

Yea… alot of the conversion lines are the same thing, generic lines with adapters. I did this for the front and rear on my car and have not have a problem. If you ever need help with brake line instalation feel free to give me a call. LOL
