I'm in the process of converting my car back from Ceramic brakes to the original steels, and I need 4 brake lines.
Would anyone here know the best palce to get them? (new or used)

Which ceramic brakes did you have and why are you going back ? Did you need a technical approval for a street registration (TÜV in germany) ?

I mounted Brembo's from the Corvette ZR1, and I had to modify my uprights etc.
I'm not sure if you would be able to get your car throuhg a TÜV with them on, but I don't know.

But I will be putting the set up for sale on the forum before long.

You might contact Desi in Berlin. He has all the old original parts off the Matech cars.

He didn't have any, so still on the search...

I see. How did you setup brake balance ? Just adjustable brake valves in the rear ?

Reason to go back to stock ?

No adjustment needed. I went with front rotors and calipers all round, the best upgrade I ever made.
I'm going to sell the car, and it will have more appeal to the general Joe as a standard car.

My complete Ceramic setup including modified uprights will be put up for sale on the forum before too long.

I think the car would be more appealing with the ceramic brakes.

How did you fit the wheels over the ceramic system?

I was on BBS FI wheels 19" and later on a set of OZ 19/20"
