*PRE-SALE* on now for MPP Ultra Stainless Steel Brake Lines (R1T / R1S)

I do like the idea of steel-braided reinforced hoses.
So it looks like your new lines have a short/normal sized banjo with an additional support bracket for that extra length. I get that it was inspired by the droop or full extension of the rear. Are the front hoses similar? Have you test driven the new hoses at the Lowest height setting? Does the extra hose get in the way of anything?

Yes exactly! Aftermarket brake lines will be slightly different compared to OE lines that use long pre-bend hardlines attached to the banjo fitting, as all aftermarket lines just use standard/short banjo fittings.

So the additional bracket is necessary to ensure the brake line goes where we want it and doesn't touch the wheel/tire!

We've tested these at all ride heights for months now, and spent a lot of time ensuring that they will work over the vast suspension travel that the Rivian has.

The fronts follow a similar routing to OEM with the custom stainless steel bracket, along with additional abrasion protection in the areas where the brake line will touch the suspension upright (same as the OE line - there is additional protection as it's designed to rub on the tie rod and knuckle!?)

Our line avoids the tie rod, but will touch the knuckle at high steering angles.

I took another look at the fronts (I'd looked before when adding the missing horn and inspecting the tie-rods). That is a somewhat long circuitous routing touching most everything! I went ahead and ordered the MPP hoses, but if you have a picture of the fronts installed too, that would be nice to see. (Might as well add them to your product page too) Thanks

We wanted to come back with a little update for you guys - these are shipping to the pre-order customers! We took some additional photos of the install process on our R1T, and we think they look awesome. The photos show some of the provisions we made to ensure the lines are safe and secure during any manner of suspension actuation and full-lock steering.
Forgive the dirt - we USE this truck, a lot.

We've been driving around on these lines for quite some time, and will be continuing to do so into the future. We absolutely love the R1T!

Any updates on other brake component upgrades? I think some lighweight CC Rotors would be amazing on the R1
