So I got some Goodridge SS brake lines and ATE super blue fluid from tire rack. I was only expecting the SS lines to be for the front brakes which they are but on the package is a sticker marked "impreza 2wd&4wd rear drum" (I'm positive I selected 1998 legacy GT sedan) and on the back of the package is says not to mix SS replacement brake lines and stock rubber brake lines on the same system. Is it necessary to buy another $115 kit for the rear brakes? or are they just covering there butts if something breaks?

I'm pretty sure I re-used the lines from the drum brakes when I swapped to rear discs. One way for you to find out, right?

Measure the length of the line before you do anything... you should have ordered your lines from Reason though... support the forum!

lol I know I know was going to but his supplier wasn't getting back to him and I needed my car back yesterday, and tire rack only wants $12 a bottle for the fluid.
I'm pretty sure they will fit il make sure i just wanna make sure I don't have to install lines for the rear disks what do people normally do? front or both?

You're supposed to install brake lines all at the same time, because the lack of flex in one part of the system will put added pressure on the older rubber hoses, and cause uneven pressure.

well great now it says this
Note: G-Stop 4 Line Stainless Steel kit. For models w/ rear drums. Includes wagon.
and there $118 now. I'm POSITIVE IT DIDNT SAY THAT BEFORE WHEN I GOT THEM FOR $115....maybe i will be getting them from reason...Im gunna call them cuz 2.5 GT sedans don't have rear drums and never did
