Brake line hose length

Featured Replies

I received a set of brake hoses.  Two are shorter than the other two.  Do the shorter go in front or back?

I updated to SS lines from Apex Brakes  (Canadian company IIRC) I think i put the smaller length ones in the rear, i figured it would not need the movement as the fronts do. Perhaps someone else can give you a more concrete answer.

Thx @heyitsrama I called the sales and it ended up the shorter went in front.

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn it, i dont  wanna open the system up and fix it. i wonder if it causes suspension travel issues in the rear.

I haven’t taken my car down from lift yet, but I think you’d be ok.  My wheels are hanging free and I doubt there’d be much difference in tightness on the line.  If you fly over a railroad track or something it may be an issue.  There is 3/4” difference in length.  To be honest, I wished I would have put another set of the longer, rear lines, in the front as well.  You should at least look at the tears to see how tight they are when sitting on the ground.
