[s-cars] Rear brake line failure

[Tom Green]

>
I think the Mintex red box pads are a good choice for a DD, Jim.   
Easier to keep the wheels clean and good performance.  I think the ECS  
lines are pretty, but a waste of
money for a stock system-and they won't last longer than the rubber  
lines.  If you like them, they will work fine.  Don't try to save  
money with some of the $30 no-name
rotors out there-instead, buy the name brand (zimmerman, brembo, etc)  
at the best price you can find.  If you want that caliper piston  
retractor, buy the same thing at
Harbor Freight $10 cheaper.
