I've been working on the brakes for my old Surburban and it got me wondering about why the rear brake lines are larger diameter than the front. For instance on the burb, it has 3/16 front and 1/4 to the back Why not run 1/4 inch everywhere? I'm thinking its because 1/4 expands a fraction under heavy pressure causing spongy pedal.
The reason for 1/4? Because of the longer distance? OR Because you need 1/4 to feed 2, 3/16 pipes at the rear? With the kind of pressure generated you'd think intuitively it wouldn't really make that much difference.
