GODDRIDGE SS. BRAKELINES
INSTALLED THE BRAKE LINES USING THE BANJO BOLTS THAT COME WITH THE LINES.THE TORQUE SPEC'S IN THE VETTE SHOP MANUAL CALL FOR 37 FT.LBS THE BOLT SNAPPED BEFORE I GOT TO 37.LOOKING AT THE INSTRUCTIONS AGAIN THEY; STATE TO USE FACTORY SPEC'S BUT IN ANY CASE DO NOT EXCEED 24 FT.LBS.THEY WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.THE SUPPLIED BOLTS ARE ABOUT 3/8 OF A INCH SHORTER THAN FACTORY BOLTS AND THE BOLT HEAD IS MUCH THINNER.I TALKED TO NATE AT EXTREME AND HE SUGGESTED TO USE THE FACTORY BOLTS.I DID THAT AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE I INSTALLED NEW ERADISPEED ROTORS AND G.M. CERAMIC PADS.JUST BRAKING IN THE PADS BUT THEY SEEM AT THIS POINT ABOUT THE SAME AS THE STOCK PADS.I CHANGED OUT THE ROTORS BECAUSE OF A WARP IN ONE OR MORE.HAD THE CAR IN FRANCE THIS SUMMER FOR THE LEMANS RACE.HAD A COUPLE OF 'THERE'S THE EXIT' STOPS FROM ABOUT 140MPH.WHEN GETTING OFF THE RAMP WAS UP HILL SO I HAD THE BRAKE ON,THEY SAY THAT COULD HAVE WARPED THE ROTOR BECAUSE OF UNEVEN COOLING.

Re: GODDRIDGE SS. BRAKELINES (Ed Merchut)
I think the SS lines are a good deal. The Vettes seem to have a soft pedal. You know what I mean especially from 140mph, huh? Sounds like you had a lot of fun.
