Rob- Don't have an answer on the Goodridge lines, but I' running Russell lines on my 92 vert and Earl's on my 87 coupe. The Earl's appear to be beefier and a little more well made than the Russell lines and they even seem to have a little extra length to them. There is just enough looseness to the Earl's lines when the car is off the ground and the suspension is unsupported. But I can't say if this is just teh difference between the manufacturers lines or the year of the cars.
I have read some good things about the Goodridge lines but they were C5 applications. HTH
Hope your're enjoying Texas!! We finally got the snow to melt away here in Olympia. :cheers:

Make sure that the lines are DOT approved!

I've got Goodridge lines on the vette and am happy wih them. Also, just got a Baer GT+ brake kit for the Z28 and it came with Goodridge brake hoses FWIW.
