    I haven't read through all 137 pages of this thread, but I have read a bunch of them. The one thing I haven't found is what the price is for a set for a 1st gen? Figured since there are only three it would be a little cheeper.

    1st gens are actually a little more expensive because of the line lockers. Cost for 1st gens is $136.

    @OCTaco said about my lines "They should ship this week. I’ll PM as soon as they ship." on Feb 26th.

    I received no PM that they shipped that week. I Pmed yesterday about it and have still not gotten a response.

    My payment was sent on February 13th

    I'm not trying to bad mouth the guy, I'm sure he has a day job and plenty of other priorities, but there is a communication gap.
    It's obviously a great product, this thread has been going for years, and the price is good. It's a case of "good, cheap, fast, pick 2".

    Yeah exactly. I'm not trying to bad mouth at all. Every one of my friends said get brake lines from him. I have no doubt they're good quality, but the communication break down sucks.

    Got my lines installed, along with my lift.
    I did 5100's, 888 coils, Dakars. I got +4". The length was perfect for the back since I got the extended rear shocks but the front was definitely a bit long. +1 or +2 would've been perfect.

    The one disappointment was the fact that I had to get some 5/8" ID X 18g bushings/washers to allow the lines to fit securely in the OEM brackets. Otherwise the OEM retainer clip simply doesn't have enough tension, plus the shape of the brake line's nuts don't match the OEM lines so without a washer of some sort the lines can sit cockeyed in the bracket hole.
    For $20 more, my friend used Crown lines which came with new retainer hardware and fit the brackets perfectly.

    Pic of the thicker washers available at Lowes (right) which will not work, and the thinner ones from Ace (left) that worked perfectly. Minor issue but I wanted to share.
