What SS brake lines to use with 2G brakes

[SHEARER_TSI]

I have a 1990 that I am going to put the 2 piston calipers on. I was wondering what brake lines I should buy. Should I buy the lines for a 90-94 car or for a 95-98 car?

Get the correct lines for your '90 car chassis.

Ok I was not sure if the caliper required it's own style line. Thanks.

Lines for your model year will be correct for your chassis -- shouldn't have a problem with missing lines, line length, or fitting compatibility. The provided caliper lines will fit the OE calipers, so as long as your dual piston calipers support the same style connections, there should be no problem. For the '90, those connections are thread-in.

By the way, the '92-'94 AWD dual piston calipers also work. Also, the 1G dual piston calipers require the larger 10.9" (276mm) rotors -- I'm guessing this is also true for the 2G.

If you're using calipers from a 2g it will have a banjo fitting. Where 92-94 will have a flare fitting allowing you to use 1g brake lines. I believe Road Race had/has lines to work with the "hybrid" 1g body, 2g calipers.

DSM Jeff is correct. You can't use 1g brake lines on a 2g style caliper due to the banjo fitting. You need the 1g with 2g style brake caliper lines from RRE.

I'm thinking this may be a question of the source of the calipers. If they're used, they'll have the banjos. However, if they're new/rebuilt, they are quite possibly packaged with installable threaded banjo fittings (as were my '94s). If so, the '90 caliper lines will thread in fine.

Looks like a banjo fitting to me. The rre kit is cheap, that's plus.

Fantastic, hope it goes well !

Lets hope so . I ordered pads and rotors today.
