Mine has a three inch lift and was wondering if there really was any type of difference in brake preformance after new longer lines were installed. UMMM, yeah I think thats about it.   Nadim Samara (Discodino) New Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 8 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, March 17, 2003 - 01:48 am:    Yeah, I got mine from Paragon Performance, a couple of years back when they had a set of 3 wires for ~45$! I got two sets to fit my 1992 Disco, which was actually cheaper than 5 original rubber ones in Lebanon! Anyways, I am certain that EE (www.expeditionexchange.com) are carrying them, they are GREAT. plus they add to the "sexy" look!   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 241 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, March 17, 2003 - 05:36 pm:    I put on Paragon lines from EE when I did the pump recently. The brakes feel very solid. I did of course bleed the brakes and replace the pump at the same time so who knows? I'm happy http://www.expeditionexchange.com/paragon Steve   A.

No complaints so far.   Ozzie Silvera (Ozzie) Member Username: Ozzie Post Number: 53 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 10:49 am:    got mine from Rovertym, and they don't flex internally like rubber ones. Seems like the pedal is a wee bit stronger not as much slop. and you definitely want them if you articulate any more than stock. or you'll find out in a hurry what it's like to be scared out of your mind when your brakes give out completely. They're like $22 each from Rovertym Don't know what brand they are   LEON KEDZIERSKI (Rovertech) New Member Username: Rovertech Post Number: 16 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 01:00 am:    DID MINE.
