    Default Brake line lengths, to short could cause uneven brakes?

    So I'm in the middle of making up new brake lines but I'm concerned about the length of the lines.

    I've moved the distribution block from the firewall to left strut tower. Now the line from the block to the FL brake will be extremely short compared to the rest of the lines.

    will this cause any problems with brake force distributing uneven?
    If in doubt, drift her out! Steer from the rear! less traction,more action! simple!

    Nope...liquids (brake fluid) are incompressible, brake lines are rigid, therefore length of line will not have an effect (there is of course some friction inside the line, but unless the master cylinder is in Perth and the caliper is in Darwin, it wont make any difference )
