Wonga Spar Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The mechanic performing the LS400 front caliper conversion on my NA-5 has told me the supplied Goodridge brakes lines are catching on the wheels when on full lock. Everything I've read about the conversion says the Goodridge Supra brake lines should be a perfect fit. Can somebody who has done this before please suggest what we're getting wrong? They're reluctant to hand the car back to me and we're currently stuck in limbo! Many thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Ive seen some lines looped in a certain way to clear the wheel. Tell them lower the car on the ground and see if it clears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I have LS400 calipers on mine with HEL hoses and I struggled to get the dressing right, it is achievable but the angles are critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
