I’m just waiting on brake fluid and lines before I do the install.

Took photos this morning of the brake lines.

First is full stretch of the line with full lock on steering wheel. Second is full slack by turning the steering wheel full lock in other direction.

Without me tying the lines this way, I could get the guide tab mounted into the knuckle, but it's too taught and I wasn't comfortable with that strain on the lines.

So, another 2 to 3 inches would've been perfect.

You can get some of the best lines custom made by Spiegler:

Wow, that's some serious customization. Now just need someone to get some stock lines in their hand to spec them out... Thank you!

I’ll be sure to weigh all stock Model 3 Performance components and get some brake line measurements.

C7Z calipers arrive to the shop on Tuesday and I’ll bet GiroDisc ships soon. FYI: Summit Racing currently has the C7Z passenger caliper on clearance and comes out to about $8 more for the pair than the ATS-V SKU. I have G-LOC R12 in production as well. Stoked to see if these calipers fit under 18” EC-7 but they look absolutely massive in photos.

I expect to have an extra full kit ready to go with the calipers drilled out and time-serted for the stock M12 caliper bolts if anyone wants to hit the easy button.
