Do not walk across **** carpet while rubbing a balloon against your head then roll in Styrofoam peanuts before handling

So THAT explains your hair......

So what does a stock, NON-M030 have, brake lines that screw to the caliper or to a hardwire? I looked but i cant tell, and i dont feel like raising the car up. Anyone know?

Yep,
They screw into the caliper!


You can use the longer non-M030 lines on a M030 car be removing the steel line to the caliper, but you cannot put M030 lines on non-M030 car as they will be too short to reach.

Ok, so on a NON-M030 car, the brake lines screw right onto the caliper. Got it. I may order the ones from paragon then. "POR500 lines are set up to screw directly into the caliper" Those are the ones right? Cool. Will i have to flush my brake fluid again, or can i tie the ends off while i change?

Don't need to flush but you do need to bleed to remove the air from the new lines.

Yes, POR500 is the right setup.

You will have to refill the lines - no, you cannot tie them off. A full system flush is recommended. The Power Bleeder is highly recommended for this task.

Good Luck!
