Default Need help, where can I buy Speedbleeders + Stainless Steel Brake lines

Could someone help me recomend an online shop.
I need to buy a set of speedbleeders and a set of Goodridge brake lines, but I need to get them from one source so I can use only one shipment to Mexico city.

Please advice, I have found the items in different online stores.
Thanks guys

What year are they for?
The Corvette Forum Store carries most of them...

C5?
Speed Bleeders
Stainless Lines - These aren't Goodridge but are exactly the same.

Edit- Looking at your avatar I'm guessing C6
I don't have speed bleeders for C6, but do have the lines, sorry

Thanks for the replies.
I have a 94 Vette. I made some research and found out that Earl's lines could cause problems with ABS setting trouble codes.

And found out that Goodridge would give me a trouble free operation and instalation.

That is the main reason to use exclusively Goodridge against other brands. Because I live in Mexico city I need to buy a product that will work the first time and not regret it later.

Thanks for the online store recomendations, so far they do not have Goodridge lines, but I hope someone will have a place that carry this brand.

Thanks very much for the advise!

Try Merle at exotic muscle: http://www.exoticmuscle.com/webpage.php?EMCAT=vette
I bought my Goodridge's from him, but I did buy my Speedbleeders directly from www.Speedbleeder.com
I am very satisfied with this combo, you won't go wrong.

Kinkajou, you may want to consider a motive power bleeder as well (www.motiveproducts.com). I had speed bleeders on my 93 and although they worked well I would highly recommend the motive power bleeder over them.

Doesn't really address your one stop shopping issue though.

I was thinking that maybe speedbleeders + a mightyvac would be a good combo for flushing.
But I guess pressure bleeding must work also nice.

To flush the brakes you need to open the ABS modual in the caliper. To My Understanding, speed bleeders and the Mini-Vac do not do this.

Using the Power bleeder with 12-15 psi will open the ABS modual in the caliper and pushes the brake fluid though.

So my speed bleeder is a 10 mm Craftsman open ended wrench.

This is very interesting. I used to bleed the ABS system by gravity and last time using the mighty vac.
Maybe I still have air trapped in there that can only be removed via pressure bleeding.

I did not consider this.
Thanks!
