Stainless Steel Lines, which brand to get

Im asking this on here bc you guys are more performance oriented. Im going with a BBK and wanted to upgrade the lines. Is there really a difference between lets say the Goodridge priced at over 200bucks or the Z1 one for 100bucks:confused:

Why the difference in price? There is also Stoptech, Czp, etc....

Instead of asking us, ask both manufacturers.

Thanks for your help, maybe I wanted peoples opinions who actually have them

Ah, sorry man, not trying to be harsh. I'm serious, I think that those of us who might have them would not know the difference between the two, unless we owned both of them? However, the manufacturers could certainly tell you if there is a difference. Since both are stainless steel, perhaps the only difference would be the internals.

No problem:tiphat: I was just hoping they would chime in here too. There are just soo many vendors selling different lines this would be easier

Take a look at this...seems to me this is the Source for you:

Thanks Steve Ill take a look at it! Any vendors wanna chime in?

Your BBK will probably come with SS lines by the way, but I have the Challenge lines on my car and LOVE them. Best quality brake lines I have owned.

No, I checked it will not :(

Not on the Z, but I had Goodridge lines on my Audi for 5 seasons in Chicago (salt, snow, sand, etc). The car was my daily driver and I ran it over 50 days on the track. Liters and liters of brake fluid went thru them, they had many many many heat cycles and they were perfect. If they are an available choice, I would use them again.....

I agree. I had Goodridge SS lines on my old G35 and drove the thing hard every chance I could and they were great. I will be putting them on my 370 very soon!!!

JQ had Goodridge and it was a total piece of crap....

i've always used endless lines on my cars with great success..unfortunately it looks like they only offer a brembo option.

Dude I love those and would buy them today but you said they wont my G37 :(

The BBK you get should come with new front lines atleast.

Goodridge is a top-notch global brake line supplier. Their lines comply to the most strict German TÜV standards as well as US DOT FMVSS 106. They have a TON of OE accounts in the automotive, marine and snow machine industries. And, they are guaranteed for life.

The top brake system upgrades come with stainless steel braided lines. AP Racing kits come with Goodridge for a reason. No compromises.

Additional note: The U.S. DOT does not "approve" brake lines. They set the standards that manufacturers must comply to or face fines/imprisonment. Brake line manufacturers must do their own testing. This data must be solid enough to stand up in court, should the need ever arise. Let the buyer beware.
