Getting ready for the install this weekend. I have a question about the brake lines, do I need SS lines for the rears, or will the standards be fine with SS lines up front. Also, the russell site lists rear brake lines for cobra w/ IRS, mine is a GT, so will the work? Thanks

"If you can afford it, get 'em now. If not they will become a weak spot in your setup...You're better off with them..."
"appreciate the advice, just curious why i need them though? i thought the rears were mostly used for the parking brake."
"SS lines in the front make them stronger. With fluids, it's all about finding a weak spot, because they don't compress. SS in front rubber in rear. Rubber<SS. Rubber will give out first. Not REALLY an issue unless you have some racing to do or repeated emergency stops that could cause them to fail do to the increased pressure from fluid that has no where else to go."
"Just my thoughts. I'm sure there are some brake gurus on here that can give a better explanation than I. So wait patiently for other opinions..."
