Full braided lines from mastet cylinder to calipers.
Fitted these lines to a car which had been converted from having ABS to NON ABS by a well known company. Funny thing is I have 2 cars here both done by same person, both with massive brake issues. Both had been bodged back together to get out the door.
For future reference. If you want to remove the ABS ffs do it right. No amount of extra lines linking up pipes and splitters is every going to be right. You will need to remove the compensators from the rear of the wishbones. You will require compensators on the inner drivers side wing. All lines need removing. 4 Port master cylinder is required available new.
Then you might actually have brakes that work
Not an advert so dont bother being a grass for no reason. For education reasons and helping others save $.

Well sadly the std hard lines are not only hard to find but most are damaged or corroded.
The myth about braided lines feeling worse than copper or hard lines is rubbish. Yes no doubt there is expansion. But not to a point you can feel it or it effects the brakes.
I hate copper. It looks naff far from tidy and last thing I want inside my car is shite copper.
The braided lines are awesome in every way. From looks to function.

Why do you need to remove the rear compensators?

I see the man from ap on tv once on the build a race car series say ideally you need as much solid pipe and as little flexible pipe as possible as the flexible pipe will expand and you loose pedal feel

Always a pleasure!
If I was replacing all the lines on a car I'd use Kunifer hard lines, installed neatly they look fine, will never rust, degrade or swell and are not expensive.
Unless the customer specifically wanted something else of course.
