Thumbs down Toxic brake line kit doesn't fit.

Just a heads up. The Toxic brake line kits are advertised as if they are just a bolt replacement. This is false advertising. On my 97 Grand Cherokee I had to drill and screw new mounts for the front. The new mounts have two holes and they only give you one screw (they say it's supposed to be that way), and their little #8 screw takes the place of the 1/4" OEM bolt. A little flimsy for off-road. The real problem is the rear line that tees into both rear brake lines. The OEM lines come in at 90 degrees to each other due to a clearance problem with the link mount. The Toxic replacement tees 180 degrees from each other, so there's no way to adjust the line to fit unless you really redneck it. Baseline's response to my complaint was to tell me to make another hard line to fit. I don't mind buying a kit if the description matches, but I was ready for a bolt on replacement.
