Other than looking cool and of course the lack of sponginess, can those big brake kits use the Gen III factory hoses instead of the stainless lines? Are the connections on the frame of a Gen II different or not the right length? Alternatively can the Gen II hoses be used or are they too short due to the larger rotor or some other issue? Upgrading the brakes has been on my plate for some time, but I'd love to learn about any issues and solve them before taking the plunge.

I have a place about an hours drive from me which will make any auto line you need while you wait. If you know the length of the line you want and what type of fitting l would be happy to get them made up for you and ship them over I will check paperwork for costings.

They are already made, its just a matter of finding out who makes them. The stainless lines already have preformed bends in them to allow the side to side movement and a good angle of attachment at the caliper.

if it helps at all Kng Snk we are direct with goodridge, actually about 20 minutes from them, they make all our replacement hoses and such, and our brake line kits, if there is a certain style you are looking for, we should be able to get it made, we may need a oem line or the certain style line you are looking for to go by, but lenght and ends are usually not a problem if its something they keep sir, jsut let me know if I can help.

to the point to where we can relax a touch, well sometimes LOL

So did the broken brake line cause the wreck or was it a product of the wreck?

That sounds like the chicken and the egg question! What came first?
After the fact even if it was a product of the wreck, no ones going to fess up to that one.

The line split at the seam, it without a doubt caused the wreck. You could see the line was stressed the way it attached. I am looking for a better way to attach the brake line to the big brake upgrade. This is tricky because of how the oem line attaches to the caliper. Really I need to see an SRT vipers front brake line to see how its routed and mimic it for a gen 2.
Great question, we'll probably never know. I don't recall but what brand of brake lines were on that wreck, does anyone know?

I bought that car. I did not recognize the brake lines when I removed them. It was the brake lines that caused the accident. The owner is an up front person and described the accident to me.

It seems there are differences between the gen 3 lines and the gen 2 lines the ipso lines for a gen 3 have a 90 degree bend on the banjo where as the gen 2 lines have a 45 degree bend.

01 Viper are Stoptech 950.63007 front
I'm told by the stoptech rep they include the brackets to make them sit like factory lines so they don't but the hard angle on the hose at the caliper.
