I've removed my front stuts from my car to convert them to coilovers and while removing most of the solid brake lines got damaged and need replacement.
Knowing myself I'll probably want to remove the struts more than once in the near future, so the OEM setup with the solid and flexible lines which connect on the strut is less than ideal. Having to drain, refill and bleed the front brakes every time I want to remove the struts sucks.
I found one solution for this problem on kaplhenke's website, but is quite expensive and takes too long to deliver (i live in europe). So I thought of another option:
What if I replace both the solid and the flex brake lines with one-piece braided hoses with AN connectors?
Has anyone done something similar before? Or is this a bad idea?
Also; can you tell me what threads/connectors are used on the brake callipers and at the end of the rubber brake hoses so I know which AN adapters I need to order?
