    I recently purchased the Fox 2.5 Coilover kit for my 2000 4wd Tacoma and have had my brakes go out on me twice since. One time while going down a hill and the other time almost rear ended someone. What happens is when you crank the wheel to the side it hits the banjo bolt on the brakes against the coilover shearing off metal loosening the bolt and dumps all the brake fluid and the next thing you got a serious problem. The guys there just tell you to go to auto zone and look for a low profile bolt which auto zone and the rest of the places do not carry. Has anyone else had this problem or have any resolution? Thank youIMG_1785.jpgIMG_1787.jpg

    I found another post of a guy on this site who is having the exact same problem with his Camburg 2.5 kit. I can tell the kit itself is quality but after talking to Fox and Camburg it sounds like everything was installed correctly. Camburg told me to go get a low profile banjo bolt that I cannot find so I assume they are aware of the problem.

    I'd probably be more concerned with the fact that it looks like you are running stock brake lines with a LT kit. Not to mention they look like they are in shit condition.
    Might wanna replace with some SS lines.
