Custom brake lines

Im trying to clean up my engine bay as much as I can. Aside from making all new hard lines are there any other options? Can I relocate the distribution block and then make (or have made) steel braided hoses for the entire system?

Do a non abs conversion. I just did mine last weekend. You can buy the mitsu RS master cylinder, proportioning valves, and 2 rear lines still. You will have to make the 2 front lines since it seems those are discontinued.

How do you know they have been discontinued, you tried ordering them through vendor? Where did you source your lines from? Im in need of all four non abs lines, prefer hardlines but will go braided steel if I have to.

Are you saying the evo8 front brake lines will work with the ABS delete?

I would hit up Josh Luck at Finishing-Lines let him know Alex sent you, I recently had a complete manual with bias valve non-abs brake line set made, I told him everything he and I needed and how I wanted them I received exactly what I requested. The corner ends are the factory style bubble fittings so you can still use the adapters that came with aftermarket caliper brake line kits.

Sorry about the late response. Checked with dealers and couldn't get them. Was able to get the two rear lines from STM and used some nickel copper brake line to make front lines. Wasn't hard at all with how easy the nickel copper line is bendable.
