The BR9 hoses are actually shorter as the caliper is much larger and so extends up higher and the hose attaches in the center, not the bottom. It is the attachment ends that are different- they hug the caliper up past the bleeder valve. If you try to use the hoses from the BR3/BR5 they would stick out at a weird angle and likely hit the suspension.

Police officer who lives a couple houses down the street said I will love them once I get used to them: "the first couple times you hit them you'll feel like your eyes are going to pop out of their sockets".

I think this is a great (and inexpensive) way to upgrade your brakes on a street car without having to change out a lot of suspension parts. Have you seen the price of a brembo conversion? ($3,000).Attached Thumbnails
