This is my saturn rear brake setup.
I have the 3pc SS brake lines from DSMskyline. These things are great perfect fit and length, it being a 3pc line also helped a lot with assembly cause if your line me and live in the north you probably wont be able to get the hardline's nut to turn do to it rusting shut.
I've had these on now for a day and done maybe 100km, so far theres no rubbing binding or leaking of anykind from the lines. I also haven't experienced a lower then normal or excessive brake peddle travel like some have from this swap, whether that be the stock rubber saturn brake line used a bad wheel hub or improper bleeding my brakes are firm and fine.
NOW ON WITH THE PICTURES! If you want me to take more just ask and I'll go out and take more.

The line didn't stay routed like this the line isn't long enough.
Bolting the spacer and hub on.
Using the OE brakeline harness.
Almost there.
All bolted up and ready to bleed.
Done!
Comments, question, concerns?...GO!
nice job, if i was staying with a J axle i would have totally got on board with these.
^^None of the saturn ones ive seen are. Every set ive seen are rusted so gotta be steel.
I wish we were able to use the alero rears without having to use the irs.
PS....Looks great! Cant wait to get mine done!
Nope I'm pretty sure they're steal. The brake rotors are Canadian Tire "premium" rotors.
Thanks guys.
Look at the smart guy with rubber gloves. I went through sooooo much gojo.

I got sooo much brake dust drom the drums on me. Mostly because the hub was rusted on everything and I had both drums completely open for a considerable amount of time. I also felt the need to put the drums back together when they were off the car in an effort to better understand how drum brakes work.
