Default Stainless Brake Lines

Just got a Z Brake Kit upgrade for my C5. Where can I buy quality stainless lines?

Thanks!

I have them on mine. They are all about the same price and quality, except the Goodrige come with a lifetime warranty last time I checked.

I got mine from forum vendor LAPD and they were less than $100 and they work with the C6Z brakes that I have just installed

Personally - I would only use Goodridge stainless steel brake lines. Years ago, there were issues with static discharge on some of the stainless brake lines. The static discharge affected the wheel speed sensors, causing them to malfunction. The only lines that did not cause these issues were the Goodridge. We've sold lot's of sets of SS brake lines, and have never had an issue.

Also - when you buy a full brake kit froim Brembo, guess which brake lines they supply in their kits.....that's right....Goodrich.

Anyone know the proper Goodridge part number to put the C6Z brakes on a '99 C5?

Thanks

contact Randy at DRM and he will set you up with their "goodridge" lines. They are slightly longer than standard and don't have the block fitting so that the will work perfectly with no modifications on C6 Z06 brakes.

Thanks all!

Ordered the Goodridge brake lines from Randy. Support the vendors folks. They provide value added support to our forum that you won't get from the web-only places.

Thanks Randy!

I have had Goodridge for several years on my 2001 - no problems.
