Due to the leveling kit i added the 2" to the lines. when i take the H2 in for a oil change and they put it up on a lift and the front wheels drop, the brake lines look a bit streched/snug, so 2" extra should leave a bit more slack. this will be good when i go off roading and rock crawling, i due push it a bit some times and i do want to be able to stop when i need to.
as for selection i did look at the goodridge brake lines and they looked fine but i had read a good article in Dirtsports off road magazine and they had very good features and testing. i go to the CORR off road race series a lot and from speaking with some race teams almost all were using crown performance brake lines not because they were mandated or because they were sponsers, they used them because they work great and never have had any problems or failures with the brake lines. i figured if these hoses are good enough for 600-800HP trophy truck and racers they should be good enough for the h2. i had also talked with some race teams from Score who race in the baja 500 & 1000 and quite a few used them to run the baja and never had had any problems with them also. so i figure they have been proven to me to be a very good choice.
as for rotors for a 20" wheel nothing beats a big brake upgrade kit, brembo & wilwood have great kits, i think wilwood are a better choice and a bit cheaper but you are talking big bucks. since i want to stay with the factory 17" wheels i have to upgrade to what fits, so far new rotors and brake lines. the only other things i can change is the master cylinder to a wilwood dual tandam master cylinder
