Problems with Galfer!?!
I installed a set of Galfer braided lines on my '07. Being the anal retentive SOB I am, I actually read the instructions and followed them to a T.
THEY LEAK!!!!
Well, at the banjo's not the lines themselves and it is a weep. And only the front! I followed torque specs (12lb) front and rear (yes, my wrench has been calibrated, I told you I am anal). Thing here is this: Kawi says 18lb, Galfer says no more than 12.
Should I just go ahead to 18 on all like KHI says? I really don't want to have to drill and tap a bolt out of my caliper

If you have any more prolems, call Gafler direct. They are amazingly easy to work with and equally helpful in resoving any issue one may have with thier products.
