How exactly do the braided steel brake lines from maximum motorsports hook up to the stock calipers??? Does it use the steel line that the rubber hose connects up to or do they go right to the caliper. Thanks!

They just replace the rubber section. So yes they attach to the factory steel hard line, and then go to the caliper. Pretty straight forward, it'll be obvious when you get under there and look at it.

I asume you're talking about the front lines, since you say caliper. If you're talking about the rear line, it goes from the steel line that runs to the back of the car, and connects to that little distribution block on the rear end. You don't change the factory steel lines that run along the axle tubes to the wheel cylinders.

The kit should have come with detailed instructions. If you lost them, check the MM website, they are on there too.

Mine didn't fit right, for the front. I don't remeber too well, but there was this hex fitting thing that was bracketed to the car and the hex was the wrong size. I had to have it machined smaller to fit.
