I just removed the rubber hose from the brackets and used them on the braided lines (used a piece of vacuum hose around it in the bracket). Worked great.
07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

Just want to add: I’ve had my NNBS upgrade on now for a couple months, and it’s absolutely worth it. Braking is MUCH better! Definitely a worthwhile upgrade, and I also recommend going with a set of stainless braided lines.
And the install:
Whose brake lines did u use? I'm ready to install my parts and I don't remember what the consensus on the lines was. If I remember the Goodridge kit matches the oem brackets, etc??

If you can see pictures, he uses Goodridge.
I have one set, never mounted yet, but in package are universal brackets.

That's what I used on mine. Works and fits great.
I used the Goodridge lines too. I put the OEM brackets in a vise and cut the old hoses out, then opened them enough that they fit over the new lines and clamped them back down over the stainless lines.
Yup, used Goodridge. I did have a problem though. The rear center brake line did not fit the factory fitting. It was too deep, so it attached, but leaked no matter what we did to seal it. So right now my center rear line is the factory rubber piece. I’ve purchased a new OEM line, and am taking it to a local shop, who specialize in stainless lines for all kinds of things, to have them copy, and make me one that fits correctly.

This is the reason why I still haven't installed my kit.
But I test fit with new brake lines with Goodridge hoses, and seems to be OK. Maybe 03+ may have problems with rear center line(over the rear axle).

Mine too. Iirc not all had that rear center brake line. I think only JL4 had it.
I thought they either had 5 total or 6... with Stabilitrak, there are 6 lines.

Mine is 2000, as in my signature.
Between 99-02, and 03+ in NBS is maybe more changes than, just electrical stuff

The 4 lines into calipers fit fine, in every kit. But still you should have hose from rear pipe over the rear axle, at least 1. If you have Stabilitrak then 2 pipes+2hoses.
I bought mine kit a 2y ago, maybe Goodridge offer only 4 pcs kit now.

They all have at least one center line, they have to or the hard line would bend every time the differential moved up and down. It connects the hard line on the body to the hard lines that are on the diff. But the stabilitrack option requires 2 hoses there instead of one.
No. Lol. You still have at least one of the old rubber lines.

Makes total sense now. It's raining like a mofo, so I can't check it now.
Better than snow but yeah rain stops me from working on mine too. No garage.

Are people getting the front calipers with or without the police package?
