I have a 4 inch lift kit to go in but dont have the brake line extensions for it, do i need them?. If so does anyone know were to get some made up cheap on the sunshine coast, i have called a few places and they want $70/$80 each to make them up i have read on here people paying around $30 each for them. Any help would be great as i want to get the kit in and head up to DI on the weekend for beach fun times.

Yes you will need them on the 4 inch kit - I *just* got away with out doing them on the 3 inch...
I'd shop around, even interstate or ask a member on here to get them made for the $30 each price and send them your way. You only need four of them - one for each corner
Cheers

this post requires ninja techniques
Go to a wrecking yard find an L series and remove the rubber coated brake line. then find a newer model subaru and compare them, the newer ones should be longer (every one Ive looked at is) all you need to do is remove one and go back to the L series and see if it fits into the caliper of the one you removed.
(If it does repeat the process 3 more times then put it all in your pocket and ninja out of the wrecking yard)
NO NO NO pay the nice man and leave with a clear conscience
If this works please post telling us that it does
