Re: G60 UrQ Upgrade Complete - Notes

[ANDREW FINNEY <afinney@bigplanet.com>]

Eric,

The stock UrQ lines are 14" long. The stock 5000TQ lines are 16" long. The
stock UrQ lines don't give you enough free hose, they may be stretched too far
under full lock of the steering wheel and the suspension hanging from the car.
The metric equivalent of 15", is approximately 380mm. HTH.
