Ok someone told me you can use the FOX front softlines,

true?

Is it the same? Saves me buying new ones for nothing

Are you upgrading to SN-95 brakes? Are you changing the calipers? All you need is just to change the rotors and axles and drums to convert to 5 lug.

Oh ok. I misunderstood you at first. I think if you change over to the SN-95 stuff then you will need to change over your brake lines to work with the new calipers.

The brake hoses will need to be from an SN95. I used MM lines which have the correct fittings, but if oyu decide to use parts store hoses, you will need an adapter for the passenger side. You can only buy this adapter from Matt90GT as far as I know.

Hang on,

Adapter for what?

I bought the rear adapters from Matts website,
But why do you need one for the front?

Because the passenger side has a different size fitting on the soft line I believe, could be thhe hardline, but anyways the fitting is different. You could just buy SS lines from MM, and they bolt right in. Just make sure they are for a Fox using SN95 calipers.

I guess they don't have SN95 specific lines. I got the cobra ones for my cobra brakes, which have different banjo bolts. MY lines didn't have a huge block at the end, but rather a small circular end. If the 87-93 lines they offer are like this they will fit just about any caliper.

I used my fox lines, but I had to swap driver<->passenger sides and clearance the block against the caliper a little.
