stainless brake lines
Hi Guys,
So what brand of stainless brake lines are you using and are you happy with them ?
There are lots to choose from and I'm sure some are better than others.
Cheers
Nigel

Most of the track guys use the Goodridge. I can't imagine there being that much difference between them. I haven't heard of much going wrong with them.

I have the Goodridge lines on my car. They eliminate the banjo style fitting and bolt directly to the caliper. These lines really firmed up the pedal. I'm happy I went with them.

I'm interested in this as well. I'm planning on swapping out rotors/pads next spring and I'm thinking about replacing the OEM brake lines with SS as well.
I'm just wondering if it's overkill for regular (and spirited) street driving. Is there improved brake performance/feel even if the car is not driven on the track?

When I did the swap out on my C5 I went with Russell brand lines. When I looked around Russell and Goodridge were both highly recommended.

Not overkill at all. Your car is over or close to being 10 years old. Inspect your rubber lines closely. You will find hairline cracks and maybe significant cracks in your stock lines. The SS lines are inexpensive, a bolt in replacement and provide a somewhat firmer more consistent brake feel. Well worth the $ and time to install IMHO.
