Did you have to modify the brake lines?

No, but just had to zip tie them to the rear since the s60 didn't have welded tabs for clips. However, it did have the threaded hole for the brake line T near the center section.

Cliff notes: no, I didn't need to modify them.

this looks absolutely perfect. I'm hoping my rear end gives out sooner than later so I have a reason to go with the narrowed rear and those 15" welds....with 18's in the front

Stance looks great!

How much narrowed per side, 2''? 3"? And whats the backspacing on the wheels? 5.5? 4.5?

narrowed 3" per side and 4.5 BS

5.5 BS would have required cutting bumpstops and a whole lot of modification to get them to fit imo

I think it looks perfect with the 4.5 BS. Did you want to tuck the wheels in more with 5.5 BS? Like I said man, I think it's perfect! Exactly how I would want mine.

There are a couple cars on this side rocking the 5.5BS with 3" narrowed per side, and I liked the tucked look.

This was much more tucked than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. T/A's have wider rear fenders, so that also helped.

Overall, I'm very happy with it.

I don't think I saw any mention of rear tire size?

Are these Low or Medium Pad on the rear wheels? I am assuming the fronts are medium...

Any part numbers?
