[playboyz28]

I have a 2001 GLS, how would that work out? Its got drums in the back

Jason

[carbonman]

As for fitment, yes the will fit the fronts (rear drums will also but they will be excess or longer, no biggie)

Edit- thanks for PM'ing the site admin prior to posting :)

[BlueGT]

The GB was approved.

[tniv1]

Yeah, I'm down for this. Everyone says that they are a direct fit.

Just a suggestion: put the price in the thread title, you might attract more people.

[tibby01]

good idea :D

[XTRAWLD]

I don't think the thread titles can be edited anymore - Blue might have to go ahead and do that for him - it just keeps the consistency of the threads so people remember what thread said what, as opposed to someone changing the name entirely and others get lost trying to find the info once the title is edited.

[Tricked]

Can't pass up a good deal! You can count me in.

[Snowman]

Will not work on rear drums !

[playboyz28]

so fronts will work only then? for the GLS models

[tibby01]

if the drums are the same on the tiburon as they are on the elantra, then they will work. he has lines for the drums on tiburons, too.

ok guys, we passed the first price break.

[labmixz]

Could these fit the 03 i4 tib ?

curious...

[tibby01]

i dont think so. sorry

[Elantra2.001]

Is it possible to just get a rear set? I already have front lines.

[tibby01]

it would probably be possible, but i dont think you could get them at a discount. email him at raymond@eliteauto.ca and ask. it would have to be something outside this group buy.

[TheWickedestOne]

Count me in.

[2XDreme]

I'm in for this if i can buy after i recoupe cost from my group buy as i will be paying for everything up front
3rd July should be fine

[XTRAWLD]

Question - The fact that my Elantra has ABS and the fact that my b/f's RD doesn't and he has the SS lines - is that going to affect the braking? What I"m trying to get at is: are the brakes going to be so sensitve because more pressure is being placed on them where the ABS will be activated a lot more often?

[carbonman]

Jo, they will operate the same abs or not
SS lines don't increase sensitivity, they prevent over expansion of the lines during hard braking / HEATED conditions

[Hyundia_90250]

O.k. I have read and reread this....so basically what is the TOTAL price for the lines and just to mkae sure I'm right they will not work on rear drums...

[only1db]

nevermind

[tibby01]

well, ive been told that the rear drums on the elantras are the same as the rear drums on the tiburons. if they are, then people who have drums in the back can still get a full set because he has rear lines for people with discs, and people with drums.

total price for a complete set(4 lines total) is listed on the first post.

[alexnkylie]

Please add me to the list for these. Thanks

[XTRAWLD]

You gonna PM everyone or list in this thread when it's time to pay up?? Do you have an expected date yet?

[rckozma]

If I get in on this will you take a MO?

[tibby01]

i just asked him about money orders.

when it is time to pay up, i will pm or email everyone who is involved. the ending date for this right now is july 3rd. it may be extended if we still havent reached 15. i think our odds are pretty good though.

And what was the outcome of MOs?

[tibby01]

give it some time, i wrote the email about 6 hours ago. ;)

luckily though, he checks his email all the time and replied. money orders are fine. :D

Cool, sorry about that, when you said you had asked him, I thought you meant in person or on the phone :)

Put me down for a set.

[XTRAWLD]

We are pretty close to 15, 20 might not be a far stretch......maybe we can hold out till we hit it? Depends on how desperately everyone wants them I guess.

[ajkolb]

I'll take a set also, 2001 Elantra with rear drums

[tibby01]

bad news guys, random told me that he doesnt think the drums are the same on the rd tib and xd elantra. how many people does this affect?

perhaps for people who have drums you could buy the whole set for disc brakes, and then sell the rear disc lines to people who have big brake kits up front, and discs in the back. or you could get the tiburon drum set, use the disc lines up front and chance the drum lines in the back. if they dont fit, then you could try selling them to tib owners with drums in the back. this kinda could still be a deal, because ive seen most lines run atleast 110 a set.

so basically, all disc brakes used between rd tibs and xd elantras are identical, including the front and back. but the drums are different.

if you want out, post up and ill take you off the list.

[XTRAWLD]

I think the GT's are ok in this regard, but the GLS' are affected - might wanna double check that cause I know my rears are different than the sedans.

[tibby01]

im going to be going on a white water rafting trip from the 25th to 27th, so if you have questions, pleawse be patient. i also hope to see more people when i return!!! :)

and remember to read the updated situation on the lines. if you want off, post your name up and ill take you off.

[O_GT]

I'm in too.I want a set.How do I pay??

[tibby01]

read the first post for instructions on when you will pay. after this ends, i will send out instructions via pm, or email.

ok, thats 17 total now. PLEASE, if you havent read the update on the fitting situation above, make sure you look at it to see if you still want to be involved in this. its 5 posts up.

[O_GT]

I have all disc so I think ill be all right.Correct me if I'm wrong

[tibby01]

you will be fine.

guys, i sent out pms to everyone involved to make sure if you are still in or not, just in case some may not be keeping up with this thread.

----7/4----
hey guys, raymond just emailed me and said that if someone had a stock brake line that they could send him, he would probably have a set of brake lines that could match up for the rear drums.

anyone interested?

----7/8----

sending out pms to people with payment information. we have 15 with the ones that confirmed over here.

only1db, do you still want in on this?

i dont know if you edited out that you wanted in or what, but for future reference, i wouldnt do that. make another post, or just edit the original one, leaving the first mesage in there if not to much time has passed.

[Crashman]

Greetings,

Quick question about this group buy: Would tomorrow or the weekend be too late to get in?

I have a 2003 GLS with ABS and have noticed the spongy feel of the pedal. I would like to have this mod done, but I am currently having issues with the second failed set of rear rotors in 11,000 miles. The car is going to the dealership tomorrow, when I am going to propose that they install a set of aftermarket rotors (purchased at my expense) to try to finally bring an end to this ordeal. I don't want to make any commitment to the brake lines until I find out if they will agree to the aftermarket route, since, if they don't, I'm taking my case to the grand poobahs at the Hyundai zone office, and additional mods to the braking system may give them an opportunity (but not a legitimate reason) to avoid dealing with the problem.

Thanks for letting me vent a bit and for cluing me in on the time issue.

Crashman

[tibby01]

ill just do this. anyone that still wants in on this MUST post their involvement by monday.

[Crashman]

Count me in, too. '03 GLS with ABS.

Talked the dealer into installing aftermarket rotors and pads (no warranty, of course, but no labor either) on the back to replace the repeatedly-failing stock parts. We'll see how this works.

Crashman

[tibby01]

does the gls have rear drums?

[Crashman]

My GLS has rear discs with the 4-channel ABS.

[tibby01]

sent oyu a pm with payment info.

[Crashman]

Thanks, Tibby01. Got it. Looking forward to a new weekend project!

[alexnkylie]

I have sent out a money order, just to let you know tibby

[2XDreme]

Just waiting to hear back with confirmation on shipping charges and i'll be layin down me $$$

And just side note - I'm 1000th person to view this post :wavey:

[alexnkylie]

Are you sending the brake lines out as they are being paid for or are you waiting for everyone to pay? No big hurry becuase I wont install them until I get my rotors. I was just wondering

[4mynikka]

if anyone is going to buy a set of the ss, and have the disk (front) drum (Rear) set up , they only need 2, i'll buy the other 2 from you.

[Tricked]

So when can we expect to receive these? :confused:

[rckozma]

I received mine last week, so I would guess that you should be getting yours soon.

[TheWickedestOne]

I got mine last week as well....now all I need to do is figure out how to install them.

[Tricked]

Everyone getting them but me? I can't wait any longer. :(

[2XDreme]

Mine arrived here yesterday - dunno why yours taking so long tricked :wtf:

[Tricked]

Hopefully they don't have ties with Dan Hauser. :rolleyes:

Anyone else get theirs already?

[tibby01]

sorry tricked, ive been away from the computer because of a crazy work schedule. you will need to contact raymond, i am just the organizer of this, he is the one who actually sends out the things. i sent you an email with how to contact him.

[TheWickedestOne]

I went to install mine last night, and the strut mounts for the rear lines are upside-down. ****ing awesome!

[O_GT]

Mine were ok.I like how they feel

[tibby01]

I went to install mine last night, and the strut mounts for the rear lines are upside-down. ****ing awesome!


so are they un-installable? wirte raymond an email about it, im sure he would replace them.

raymond@eliteauto.ca

Tricked, did you ever get yours?

[Tricked]

Just got them yesterday. I'll have to wait to do the rear disc conversion before I get the rear lines installed. The front lines will probably go on tomorrow.

[TheWickedestOne]

so are they un-installable? wirte raymond an email about it, im sure he would replace them.

raymond@eliteauto.ca

I'm not worried about it. I just ran them a different way, and didn't attach them to the struts.

[TheWickedestOne]

It was awesome when my first line blew out and I lost my brakes going down a hill at 50 mph. It's even more awesome that the second has now blown out.

[XTRAWLD]

I heard about the blow outs, which was my primary reason of staying away too.....braking means everything.

[TheWickedestOne]

The things straight melted. Nothing like brake fluid on your wheel's clear coat.

[01elantra4dr]

A year later. Dam
