Here is the part numbers from one of DSMskyline's Post from this thread
Saturn rear disk swap brake lines
DSMskyline wrote:To do a 1 piece ss hose with a banjo fitting one end and the female IF on the other, would be right around $100 for the pair.
To do a 3 piece hose, which is a 10mm banjo x -3an fitting(piece 1), custom 21" long -3an hose with 1 end having a 45* angle (piece 2), and a female IF x -3an fitting (piece 3), they would be $75 for the pair.
Here is a parts list for the 3 piece hose from Jegs. Its all Russell brand where I have access to and would provide XRP fittings.
Female IF Adapter $16.99/pair
Russell Straight Hose $21.99/Each
Jegs brand Banjo fitting, bolt and washers $11.99/side
To order the parts from Jegs, and not get the custom 45* hose would cost you $84.95 plus their S&H
Hope this clears everything up!

This says about the braided lines I don't mine not having braided. I looked it up on a parts site and they both have three 10mm x 1 female side so I think it'll work but not sure just figured I would ask.
You will need the saturn rubber lines. They attach directly to the jbody hard lines and have the banjo fitting to go on the caliper. Its pretty straight forward. You can shorten and re flare the hard lines to fit better if you wish.
Have a nice day.
Cool thanx that's what I was wondering.
I believe, that somewhere in this thread Kardain posted all the part numbers for every fitting, and all braided lines you'd need to replace from the stock J hardline to the caliper, just dig through to find it.
Mr. Quick- I'm so in for the front upgrade setup, no hurry's on that one though, I got an engine swap to fund this coming year some time too....

Dsmskyline sold the kits, the part numbers are in his thread too.
Have a nice day.

Yet again that is for replacing with beaded lines which is not what I'm doing. I was asking if the stock lines for both would work together. Thanx though.

I'm actually printing the rest of the labels now. I will be sending out tracking numbers later today, and dropping the boxes at the PO tomorrow.
Looking forward to getting these brackets! Can't wait for my tracking number :-)

Got my brackets but won't have the time to install for a little bit. They look awesome and will definitely be in for a bracket to make the fronts bigger.

Not brackets. Brand new aluminum spindles, designed specifically for the application:
Haven't set up the machining yet. Hoping to do so over the next couple of weeks. Updates will be posted in the suspension & brake forum.
New spindles to hold what calipers? My interest is peaked but I will wait for the post in the suspension forum.

^ditto, I've got a newly dubbed track car status on my cavy and a front upgrade along wiht the rears would make stopping said car, amazing to say the least, okay I'm done gushing now.... resume rear brake talk.....
Just a thought guys... I recently did the independent rear suspension swap and I plan on doing the w-body front swap so I have the 5x115 bolt patter all the way around, an with this setup ill be able to run corvette rotors, why not just do this swap instead of machining a me bracket?
There will be more than one option on calipers and rotors with the spindles, some of them being very light weight.

Some people don't want to do the IRS swap, but want aluminum knuckles and/or the big brake upgrade.
OK, enough of the thread jacking. The knuckles will be posted in the suspension & brake forum as I make progress.
So... I got a few things in the mail the past few days.. new rotors and hawk pads.. and a set of wheel bearings... No brackets yet though
Have a nice day.
