SS rear brake hoses! Reply #9 – October 10, 2006, 08:12:56 PM I have no idea whether or not the work on a Mark rear. I know the front's work on the Mark. The BIG deal is that they are DOT 50-state legal, so if you're in a state like mine that has inspections you are OK.They're going to be $124.99 for the set, and the front and rears together will be $199.

Take brake lines, since we're on that subject: A brake line could be completely rotted, but if it doesn't leak we're not allowed to fail it. If a car's pads are worn right into the rotors too bad - we're not allowed to pull wheels and actually look at the brakes. If the park brake works and pressing the pedal stops the car it passes. Some "safety", huh? :hick: Quote Selected
SS rear brake hoses! Reply #13 – October 11, 2006, 10:16:33 AM Suprisingly they only inspect you in some areas of the state (ie-Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia). Out here in nowheres-ville they don't care (which is why I live here with my wouldn't pass in a million years roller motor SC50 emissionsless TC). From what I have had to go through with though, they care about safety stuff only, as in, cracked windshield, bad brakes, leaking gas, etc. Quote Selected
