I've done a little searching and i haven't found what im really looking for. My stock lines are leaking, and a need a replacement. I've been looking at the Racingbeat SS lines. But, my question is, are the SS lines going to be flexible enough. I realize that the stock lines are rubber and flexible and the SS lines may not be. My main goal is not to ruin the oil cooler by the engine moving and the lines transferring the twisting into the cooler.

What have you experienced?

 

Don't worry, steel braided lines are still pretty flexible.

 

They are fairly flexible...

But not flexible enough to keep them from being a bit of a PITA to install

I second that motion.
I just got mine in last night (mostly) If you don't put the rear bolt in first, you will NEVER get it in.

And don't worry about flexibility, cuz half of the stock line is actually metal tubing.

 

umm... how DO you get the oil cooler lines in?
i just got my set from cork and read the instructions and everything, but still cant figure out how to get them in.
does anybody have them already? do you know if they go over or under teh motor mount? because teh intructions say to follow the exact same path as the original line, but my original line went under the mount, and the corksport wont fit. anywhere.
any help greatly apprecieated

 

Over the mount.

Do you have your copy of the FSM? Download it in the FAQ.

 

yeah, i went in and looked through it right as i was posting last night.
i see that it goes over the mount. strange, because my old one went under the mount.
still havent figured out how to get the line on...
how flexible are the corksport lines? i dont want to bend them to much if they arent supposed to be bent.

 

They are JUST long enough for the application. You won't bend them any way they don't want to go.

 

RB's lines are flexible but a pain to install

 

I got a set of ss lines from corksport-- like RB lines they were flexible but a pain in the *** to install.

 

i guess mainly im just worried about bending it to much.
or if it rubs against anything.

 

Look at the Bends in this 10AN SS Line
