Who's running what? I'm going to go with either Goodridge of Galfer. Leaning towards the Galfer's. For only $25 more than the single-color Goodridges I can get whatever color I want in Galfer's, and it also includes a new set of brake pads <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>. I don't think I'd be able to tell the diff between brands, but has anyone found one to be better than the other?

Either line is good with no perceivable difference in performance. I have Galfer lines but feel that the Goodridge lines have a better finish.

When installing the lines, also install Speed Bleeders for simpler brake bleeding.

Have you considered the Kevlar lines?

I thought about the kevlar lines too, but decided to go with steel braided. It's just for street use, and the steel braided seem to be a little more durable from what I've read. If I was racing I'd probably go with em for max weight savings.


Don't think there's anything wrong with the Speiglers, but I can get the others for a lil cheaper, and they seem to be the most common choice - not that that mean much though.

If you choose Goodridge, the best price I have seen for front and rear lines is $111 from Kiernanracing.com.

Thanks for the info. I was just planning on doing the fronts for now. I use the rear so little I don't think I'd get much performance increase from doing it.

Has or is anybody planning on changing the lines themselves? I am planning on buying lines real soon but am not sure if i could do it myself

 

[Grunt_99]

Have never done it, but I think I'll try it myself when I get them. I think I'll grab one of those speed bleeders first though.
