While this was done on a 3rd gen width rear, not the wider 4th gen one, you might luck out and not have to make new lines. Provided your stock lines dont break when you take them off, you might be able to just re-bend them a little and make them work.

Something to check before you buy a flaring tool and lines.

You wouldnt happen to have the brake lines from your 4th gen rear would you? because they will bolt right up to your existing flex line from the chassis.
Phil, you are right.

JB-

You need flex lines for your calipers. I mis-posted above. Serves me right for posting after a 12 hour day. Sorry. The stuff is still applicable for making hard lines but isn't quite right for your app now.
