Do you want Goodridge braided steel brake lines for the 370Z?

ChrisSlicks · 01-13-2010, 02:21 AM

Anyone have pictures of the actual Goodridge lines?

I got mine as part of the Stillen brake kit, but it is the whole snake that goes all the way back to flare connector on the body. Our cars have a hard line that goes to the hub so I'm not understanding why they would want to replace a perfectly good hard line. There is no part number on the piece so I can't check using that.

The hard line is specific to the location of the inlet port on the OE caliper. Since the new caliper has a port in a different location, the OE hard pipe will no longer work.

A full kit picture is in post #18.

That's the picture I first saw when I searched, and that's why I panicked a little. But now I realize that mine just has all the pieces pre-assembled. Thanks for the info. Now if I could just get my garage up to a temperature slight above freezing I could get these things installed!
