Default B7 RS4 front brake lines what material are they and how long

tip to tip. Are they with female couplings both ends ? I am installing B7 brakes on my B5 S4 and the existing 32 cm lines are too short. I need some lines close to 38 cm long

Thanks in advance

Default They are regular rubber lines as far as I can tell.

You might as well go to an Aeroquip or Goodridge hose shop and get some custom teflon lines assembled for you. They should be able to do any length and almost any fitting. The fittings are 10mm metric flares by the way. If you plan on taking your brake lines on and off frequently, I suggest you use adapters to convert them to AN fittings. Metric flare fittings tend to leak when taken apart and reassembled too many times. Also, be sure to get the lines covered in a dust shield. Grit between the metal braid and the liner is not good. Email me if you have any more questions.

Default Local brake shop has 10 mm flares on back order !

I will have to look around some more for a supplier. Don't want rubber from Audi !
