Do You Need Longer Ss Brake Lines When Upgrading To 302mm Rotors


9883

Recommended Posts

I have a set of SS lines from FCP groton. They were purchased for the 850 which only comes stock with 280mm rotors. When I recently took a look on FCP website under 98 S70 Turbo section they have two seperate front SS brake lines listed; one for the 11 inch rotor and one for the 12inch rotor, the part numbers are diff. also. However when you look at the kit from IPD there is no ss lines in the kit and no mention of needing different brake lines to fit 302mm onto a previous 280mm application.

The lines for the 302mm are longer than the ones for the 280mm rotors. However, you can use the lines you have for 280mm rotors if you upgrade to 302mm. I've done that myself, and i know a lot of people who have done the same without any problems. With allt his said, it's of course not a bad idea to get the longer lines, but it's not an absolute must.
