Default Hose length for the DRM brake duct kit?

How long are the hose pieces to go from the DRM ducts to the spindle? I need to replace the hoses on my car so I wanted to know how much hose to order.

Thanks,
Matt

I used 24" on each side - that gives enough tubing to allow for flex when turning or at full suspension travel and to tie it down to the A arm. If you are ordering, I would get 5 feet - a little too much is much better than getting 6" too short for your application.

Call Randy at DRM - nothing better than going straight to the source.

I already sent him a PM and he already replied.

Matt,
We send 30 inches with the kit. That is 15 inches per side.

Matt, you think it'll be warm enough this weekend at Gingerman for the ducts? I was considering not running them myself.....

A mounting note - the closer to the centerline of the axle the better.
Also - SCAT hose works well and is cheap. It is springy which is good for keeping the hose in place during tight turns.

well that's a shame. I'll have TWO HeroGoPro's mounted on the car, the better to catch the shooting flames from Ken's rocket car! Hopefully that won't be the case.
