edal pressure, to get predictable response when we stuff the pedal to the f=
loor `and somebody fits wrongly sized lines on the rear, they screw up and =
then they say leave the "bulgy" rubber lines on the rear axle.

 of of strife is magnified a thousandfold. Given the risk to life from fuck=
ed (expletive intended) brakes and the fact that that good brakes are the c=

st moment do you want to wonder if the brakes will work, do your nearest an=
d dearest know you are playing the percentages?
Proper brake lines are part of the equation, can you explain why crap lines=
 on the rear are a good idea whilst good lines on the front are a justified=
 option?
R+C
