But the calipers came without any line from the caliper. And the stock line going into the non sport caliper, does so with a banjo bolt. So that stock line doesn't work with the new sport calipers.
So basically I want to know if anyone who has done a sport brake upgrade, what the hell did you need to do, buy the stock sport lines? If so that's such a waste and I can't believe this hasn't been addressed already. Thanks for the reply trips

The popular Z1 kit comes with everything including the hard lines, so for the most part it's a non-issue.

I think it's around $80 for the front set and around $40 for the rear
