For the guys who are running PBR Calipers on your 5 lug setup. Did you buy new Stainless Lines from Maximum Motorsports or buy an adapter piece? Also, if you swapped Master Cylinders, where did you buy your 3-2 Port conversion piece at? Thanks :flag:
 
Not sure about the PBR calipers, but I used my stock 95 lines from the 5 lug coinversion with the stock 2004 GT calipers I am using. I just used a grinder on the end of the line to make it bolt up. This may also work for the PBR calipers.
 
I called up MM and had them send the braided lines they recommended. I did have to use an adapter on the passenger side line.

Weatherhead #7828 fitting for right front hose (Everco #158, Edelman #258430)
MMBAK-3 $34.95/kit ('94 GT Master Cylinder Adapter Kit )

BPV-2

i cut the line and installed a new fitting then reflared it.any napa should have the master cylinder adapter, it was like 7 bucks :nice:
 
The Maximum Motorsports adapter kit costs more than Matt's. I've used his for 2+ years no problems. I got lucky and got the lines with my PBR calipers so all I needed was the passenger side adapter. I went with the MM stainless when I changed to the Cobra brakes since I needed the correct banjo bolts along with lines. If you can spend the money on SS lines, go ahead and get them. MM has the right lines and supplies the banjo bolts for whatever caliper and will even have the correct ends so you shouldn't need the adapter fitting. Just tell them all the details on what you are installing and they will send the right parts.

Good luck!
 
I used stock '99+ lines and Matt's 3-2 kit, and used the adapter fitting on the passenger side. I did have to buy a new T-fitting (Weatherhead 7914) because the one in Matt's kit had the threads cut in such a way that the fitting, when screwed into my prop valve, pointed toward the front of the car. I had to hit Napa and try six different fittings before I found one that would bottom out at the right point.
