I installed BAER proportioning valves inside the car under the drivers seat. I currently have hardlines run through the firewall to the valves but would like to replace them with stainless braided lines. Is this possible. I've never worked with braided line and dont know how to attach fittings to braided line or if its even dooable. If anyone has ever worked with this stuff before let me know any help is appreciated.

Braided line is usually used to replace the rubber line from the hard line to the caliper in the wheel wells. Upgrading from metal hard line to braided wouldn't do much i don't think.

Hardlines > stainless braided > rubber
Hardlines are the best (zero expansion) however they do not allow for the flexing required of the caliper location ect. Which is why you use SS braided. why you would put the valves under your seat

I put them under my seat so whenever i get my car fully done i dont have to pop the hood to adjust them. And mainly because its just different. |

steel braided lines are not hard to put together. if you havent done it before it can be tricky, but once you know what you are doing its cake.
basically you take the AN fitting apart, the lower section gets pressed onto the braided line, or the braided line actually gets pushed into it. then you screw the other half of the AN fitting together clamping the braided line into the fitting. i think ill make a short how to thread since i make them alot. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
