Re: brake line size

Simply a case of fluid displacement. Factory pieces are engineered to work together to achieve a specific pedal travel and feel. An extra 1/16th in diameter over the length of the line is significant-relatively speaking. If your using calipers with larger or more pistons, the difference in size won't really matter. I'm not saying it won't, it just won't be a big deal. You might notice a small change in pedal feel. I've run large calipers and wilwood 4 piston calipers on the rear of my car for years without issue. And I replaced all the lines with 1/4".
