Best fitting SS brake lines???

ORSTi · 04-06-2007, 09:26 PM

Just wondering which stainless steel brake lines seem to fit the best. I have read threads that say some brands don't fit well, but am now having a hard time finding that info. I'm looking into TechnaFit or Goodridge most likely.

Cobb and Stoptech both fit exactly like OEM. The Goodridge are a little long so you have to make sure you account for that but they work just fine as well. You can't really go wrong with any of these choices.

earls, goodridge, stoptech all the same.. fits great

Technafit makes the lines for stoptech. Technafit is a cheaper product minus the name brand. They fit perfect. World One can order them for you as I don't believe they sell to the public.

Technafit DOES NOT make our brake lines. All of our brake lines are made in house in or facility in Torrance and then tested to 4500 PSI. Most companies only test a few samples out of larger batches while we test every singe line beofre they ship out.

Why are the cobb's so expensice? $165 seems pretty high when the Goodridge's are like $90....

I used StopTech lines on my previous car (E46M3), and they fit like a glove. Since I was so impressed with how the StopTechs fit and looked on my old M3, I decided to go with Cobb's (re-branded StopTechs) for my STI. Again...the fit and finish was perfect. I know looks don't really matter when it comes to SS brake lines, but for what it's worth they looked great and fit like OEM. It's also comforting to know that each line was tested to 4500 PSI as ESmooth previously stated.

Any brand SS line you decide to go with will do the job just fine.

The Goodridge lines from sojdm are coated, use metal tabs and are under a bill shipped. Seems like a no brainer to me.

OK, Ya know what.....TTIWWOP, show me.
I'm a visual kinda guy....ya need to post pictures to substantiate what appears to be nothing but opinions. Post up the pictures showing the fit of Technafit, Cobb, StopTech, etc.
I have Goodridge and yes they are long...in some cases longer than I prefer.

Some pix are available in our 350Z SS line install manual here:

Most of our kits dont come with instructions since the install is very straightforward but the Brembo equipped 350Zs have caused some confusion in the past.

Thanks,
The next set I install or recommend may be Stoptech of Technafit, just to gauge the difference in quality .
