Default Goodridge SS brake lines??

I bought a set of Goodridge stainless steel brake lines for my C6Z. After doing some research I'm starting to second guess my decision to buy them. Does anyone have any opinions on them?

Thanks,
Greg

Well, I like mine and no issues. Why are you second guessing? Maybe we can dismiss your concerns....

No issues on about 4 cars. Do not provide any performance advantage that I have seen.

On my car for 3 yrs no issues. Only negative I have ever heard about was maybe dirt or grit imbedding in them a incr chance of leak. No performance upgrade that I could tell, but had car in shop so had them do it while it was up on rack.
