So get this - they sent me a set of 5 brake lines (one for each caliper and another which runs from the rear axle forward toward the engine). The mechanic said that the 4 to the calipers went in perfectly, but the swage-lock-type nuts on each end of the fifth line didn't have the right thread pattern on them. Huh... so I email these guys at Silverstone Modifications, and they said that the VX kit is only supposed to have 4 lines in it and that there must have been a mix-up in the shipping department, which is why I got a 5-line kit. I am still questioning this nonsense...

Has anyone run into a similar situation? If you upgraded to braided-steel brake lines, did you get a line to replace the fifth one?

Any experiences at all would be appreciated... Thanks!
