    So i ordered Rear Extended brake Lines from Poly Performance, and this is what i got shipped to me. I cant seem to get them to fit. One side is male and the other is female.. I dont think these are rears? but i could be wrong..

    are these rear extended brake lines?!

    They look incorrect. An 05+ rear brake line has female fittings on both sides.

    alright thanks! i thought i might have been doing something wrong.. Guess ill head into poly and tell them to give me a refund. This blows, first they told me i only needed one brake line, and now the wrong ones :mad:

    So i think i found the pattern of the bleeder screw. size: # M7 X 1.0 Anyone chime in if this is correct?

    Went to Poly Today, they called all pro and got me the correct lines which should be in tomorrow.
    The bleeder bolt was about 8 bucks from the dealer, in case anyone else breaks theres somehow

    FWIW a brake wheel cylinder doesn't cost much more than that bleeder screw. Just takes a little more work to change out.

    If the master cylinder goes dry you have to bleed the ABS system which apparently requires the dealer.

    Well maybe I don't have it quite right but...

    w/o VSC w/ VSC Hmmm I wonder why I thought you had to have the ABS checked over.
