What do you guys recommend for brand of Extended brake lines? The A-arms im getting are +3's and all I can find for Brakelines are for +2 arms IDK if that will work but I dont think so, I found some LSR brakelines on danacreech racing and they say they will fit extended A-arms but they measure 54" IDK if thats long enough or not. Please help Thanks.

And what does it mean when they say they are a 2 line or 3 line setup?

I am happy with my streamline brake lines. Mine are +2 lines and are much longer than I needed for +2 a arms. The +2/+3 just means they are for +2/+3 arms. From my experience and what I've read on here they are almost always too long so you would most likely be fine with +2 lines w/ +3 arms.

Ok thanks man, now what about the 2 line and 3 line setups?Correct me if im wrong but is the 2 line just the bottom line that goes to each wheel and the 3 line is basically the whole thing RIGHT?

I have seen some setups that have 2 lines that go directly from the brake lever straight to each wheel and others the have a single line that leads to a "T" fitting followed by 2 lines that go to each wheel. I don't really think there is a big advantage to either... other than the 2 line setup has fewer places that could leak. Mine have the "T" fitting and were a big upgrade over the stock lines. Much better braking feel and IMO a little more stopping power also.

I have +3 steel braided on my stock 400ex a-arms and they are fine, there is a lot of slack but theres no problems and I love the way steel braided feel. No more mushy brake feeling. Certain things when you go from stock to aftermarket you say wow if I ever buy another quad this is one of the things I am doing 1st and thats deffinately something I feel like about stainless steel brake lines. Mine are 3 piece and have the block joint thing to hook the together, the brand is unknown, I have seen them on eBAY for $75 but it never had a brand name but no complaints because they work awesome

I just put +2.5 L/T on my 450 and had +2 lines on it already i had to take them off and have new ones made so be careful of what you buy if you have +3s those lines you are looking at might be to short, i had my new lines made for $40 for the 2 lines from the T to the calipers

Are these lines good enough or are they to short.

That link is not working, I had streamline brake lines and they were for +2 and i had std travel, so if you get +3 lines you should be alright, imo my lines were a little to short so since i already had the T coming from the master i just had the 2 made a little longer that what i had.
