    Hell no I didnt measure no lines. Brake work by pressure not on the amount of oil it can hold in the line. Look at it like this.the brakes work when u apply the pedal which pushes the oil into the caliper to close. Why does it matter how much fluid is in the line when it's pushing the same amount of presure?

    But see you are not understanding how the Honda brake system works then.. Honda works Diagonally, not front to rear, like you would think.. The lines where designed that way for a reason!

    I'm no engineer, and I could careless about whats on your race car!!

    Now, your simple setups may work... BUT will they perform as well or better then the OEM design??



    EDIT:

    I will add that it's not as simple as you make it out to be, to much height, to much of a bend, etc will effect the system, not to mention if the lines are not mounted correctly then they can break!

    The length may not play a big role, but the proportioning, and the pressure in the line does play a factor...
