Front Brake Kit for TRX 17" Aftermarket Wheels

[Moabtj]

Thank you very much for your effort in helping out RB! Unfortunately, I'm on the other side of the country. Thanks to your fitment test, it looks like the 17" kit will be able to get away with the same calipers and pads as the 18" kit.

Yes Sir! Get in on these group buy, I just pulled the trigger

Did you assemble those brake lines or source them from a manufacturer? If sourced, could you please share the details?

I ended up changing them since the stainless line was so ridged. I have a custom hydraulic/brake shop I work with that silver solders brake lines. Any had them cut at the straight, I use a 3an 90 deg fitting on caliper side, due to the angle of the caliper. The factory brake side fitting I’m still messing with, but I don’t think it will work.

The kit fitment has been approved back in May/June, but since Edwin wanted to try other wheels venders than Method for more choices while he had no luck so far this is where we stand.
Since this downsize kit is special design - Components are exclusively made for the kit, as example from the 17" wheel availability so we can only accept "pre-order" for a minimum of 10 orders.
