Default Reinforced brake lines installed.

I have not had a chance to test modulation yet.

Front line passing through stock strain relief bracket.

The other end of the front hose.

Rear brake line.

Banjo fitting at the rear caliper. The yellow goop at the end of the black bit covering the hose is sealant to prevent crap from getting into the joint between the fitting and the hose. The hose itself is covered in clear vinyl to prevent dirt from getting between the braid and the liner.

Cool, did you make them yourself? Would be great if someone made them for the RS4.

Default The rear ones are the same. The front lines are quite different from the S4.

Different in terms of length and fittings that is.

I'm very impressed but you should have cleaned everything while under the car ;-)

Welcome back! I think one more week should make the roads salt-free enough to go for a ride.
