anybody that is using stock wheels on a rear disc conversion make sure your wheels clear the brake lines. I had a wheel balancing weight just go through my brake line and i am stranded

hm i just put my snowflakes on and they fit good around my srt rear disc's...though on my passanger side the hard brake line was bent from the doner car and the rubber hose rubbed against my other wheels, almost wore a hole through it before i bent the line back gently and ziptied the hose to one of the holes on my coilover lol

thats sucks though man, you have srt disc's? what OEM wheels do you have?

yeah exactly what u described was happening to me. I have snowflakes with srt rear disc conversion.

I even heard it scraping the line, I thought it was the discs or something so when i had my ball joint and wheel bearing done last week i had them check what it was and they thought it was a warped rotor just as I thought. But, we both thought wrong. Good thing i told them not to change the rotors out.

BTW as long as you don't press the peddle down to hard wrapping the line tightly with electrical tape will give you enough pressure in the system to get home

. Looks like i will be walking to class tomorrow the line isn't gonna come in till friday

. The parts department told me the line would cost me $340 which is bogus. they had to have the wrong part. so, I just got a line at advance for $17.

So even tho the part was $17 from advanced it didn't fit according to their website it should be the right part it looks correct but its too short.
I am pissed and its a 4 day wait before i can get the parts so I just dropped $140 on srt4 braided lines. At least i can use 2 of them. Lol anybody want front srt4 braided lines for $70 shipped?

Hmm interesting. Sorry to hear about your problem, I haven't had any issues with mine. Were yours bent? Because Dan's most certainly was.
