A+GEN+CY POWER SRT-4 SS Brake Lines (Pics of actual lines too)
We received our first shipment of front and rear brake lines. These are high quality brake lines, coated, complete with brackets and seals. These are direct replacement lines.
Agency Power now has a wide variety of steel braided brakelines for most high-end performance cars. The brakeline kits are made in the USA to meet strict D.O.T. certifications. The steel braided lines are a smoke color with the AP logo printed on it. The CNC machined fittings are in classic Agency Power Gold to separate you from the competition. All kits are assembled for a quit and easy install. Include fittings, hoses, and necessary hardware.
Steel Braided lines improve component performance over the stock rubber hose. With rubber hose, the fluid under pressure flexes the hose, cause loss in firmness and reaction. With the steel braided lines, the response is firmer giving you more control.
Brake lines are sold as pairs, front or rear.
Price is $69.00USD per set of front or rear lines, or $130.00USD for a full set shipped.
Canadian pricing is $99.00 per set, or $185.00 for a full set including shipping, taxes are additional.
Please PM me or email me to order, or for further details.
WHo has these lines installed? I bought a set couple weeks ago. I'm trying to install them and they dont fit. The banjo does not fit over the hoel ...the drain(bleeder) nut is in the way.
These are the rears

I'm going to contact Agency to see if they have encountered this problem yet. I will forward your post, as we have not seen this problem yet.
Thanks Chris!
I got an email...I'm waiting on some feedback to see whats up. Its very wierd...and it sucks I left my camera 200miles away over the weekend. A pic is worth a thousand words right?
I flipped it the other way to "MAKE" it fit, but using that orientation the lines would rub the rim/tire all day.
I am sure a solution will be found. Just checking on something. Can you look at the pictures in this thread, and compare them to yours. Do yours look like either one of the pictures? Let me know.
We compared a set of SRT-4 stock lines to the Agency lines, and the SS lines are the correct length, and the fittings are correct. As we have already been in discussions about this item, it appears that only one small item has to be looked at. The complaint was that the lines touch the back of the rim, when installed in the correct configuration, touch the bleed screw when installed incorrectly. Learning from our experience, last year, with our aftermarket SS lines, all we did was to turn the flex line a few degrees (clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on which side of the vehicle) towards the strut, by using the fastening point to which the flex line meets the hard line on the vehicle. Pretty simple huh? Other solution, is to gently bend the hard line (caliper end) away from the rim so that the flex line doesn't touch. Another simple solution, huh? We encountered with our Earls SS lines, last year, the left side flex line touching the back side of the tire, and the method described was used, no touching problems there after.
Should any SS lines fit? Of course they will, but take into consideration that they are a lot stiffer than the stock rubber hoses, so some minor tweaking may have to be performed. If this is a problem for the installer, then, we would recommend that they be installed by a professional.

The lines are different. The hardline on these ss line is curved and approximately 4 inches.
The OEM line has about 6-8 inches of hard line and comes off the caliper at 45deg heading upwards to the top of the car.
You want ME to bend the hard line? You're kidding right?
What is the correct installation Chris?
There isnt any instructions in the package. You are really heading to piss me off now.
You talk about Zip tying to ebrake cable....do you know where the ebrake cable is?
Dont try to make me look like an ASS. Lets fix the problems.
You had a chance to save future customers but you have just started heading down the wrong path....
Let me know if you want a peacful resolution or not. It doesnt have to be this way.

Oops, meant the ABS sensor line, disregard that entry.
Agency Power is looking into this matter, that is where the situation is proceeding.
Cali,
I understand your frustration. I installed another brand of brake line a few months ago and found that in addition to there being a front and a rear, there is a left and a right.
You can't expect Chris to know that, he only sells them...
There is a good chance that if you swap the rear lines, left to right, that you will get the clearance that you need. It's a subtle difference with the other brand, if this brand is any good, it will probably be the same thing.
I hope that helps, and if it does, make sure they include that little tidbit in the instructions. Don't try to bend or tweak the hardlines, without the proper tools, you'll risk collapsing the tubing. Also, don't ziptie them to anything. Stainless Steel braiding acts like a saw on anything it touches. If you need to secure them anf the OEM standoff won't work, split a short piece of rubber hose (fuel line works well) and and sheath the braid. Then ghetto mod, err.. zip tie it to something.
Make sure you start the car with it still on jackstands and the wheels off. Pump the brakes a bunch of times and look for leaks. You'll find a few at the OEM hardline to new brakeline fitting. The only solution is to overtorque the fitting to get a good seal.
Have fun, be safe.
Dale

Dale been there done that at the request of Chris ( reversal of the lines and trying them on both sides)
Of course I'm no idiot to zip tie anything to SS lines...even thought they are coated...it will go bye bye...even more so, the ABS line cant support/ pull a ss line into place.
Oh one other thing, I didnt expect Chris to know everything, but if you see the email from someone...stating..well implying....that they've never fitted a set of these on a srt.
I found one orientation the came darn close to working, except it blocks access to the strut nut...whoopise....installer erro?
