Maybe it will rain that day, and you'll feel better then.

At least you are taking a safe, intelligent approach to this.

Well that makes me feel like dirt....
If the installer was having trouble with the fitting on the driver side rear, he probably should have just left the rear lines stock. Wouldn't have canceled your weekend then.
The manufacturer is sending me a fitting that I will screw lines into and test to see if you got a fitting that was just machined wrong, had a burr, or whatever since we haven't received any other calls like that on the other sets. We've probably sent out 10 Gen3's in the last three months.
Could have just been a bad fitting. Hard for me or the manufacturer to say without being there.
Looks like I'll have to add that to my list of things to inspect personally before they go out.

Sean, You did nothing wrong, Your supplier might hold some of the fault with their quality control. The brake lines themselves were as advertised, as you know the problem was with the fitment. The mechanic at Butler tires should never have forced the fittings, probably damaging the connectors on the hard lines. ( factory fittings) . It was the end of the day and almost quitting time. I’m sure they didn’t want to reinstall the factory brake lines. They rushed things. It’s my decision not to track the car. You’ve been a gentleman about this whole thing and I appreciate it. I would not hesitate to use products and services from Roe Racing in the future.
Bandit3 is going to help with this when he returns from vacation next week.
