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

Goodridge wants to gauge interest in braided brake lines for the 370Z. Please indicate whether or not you'd like to see these produced and made available!

For sure! Since on paper the stock Sports Package brakes look to perform quite well I think we will be seeing more people upgrading the pads/fluid/lines on the stockers instead of getting an aftermarket BBK.

I am in, I will go in on the first group buy there is. There should be lots of interest for these.

Why would anyone say no? I'd assume more EVERYONE would like to see more aftermarket options than fewer. It'll give us a choice between different manufacturers. Monopolies FTL.

have Goodrich started coating their lines yet?

Heck yeah I have them on the Gixxer

I'm surprised they don't have them made already!!! That's standard procedure for track minded guys....lines, pads, and fluids.

Goodridge SS brake lines
 

YES!

Please size the SS lines for a 370A with Sport package brakes.

My Motive brake bleeder is waiting.

I would prefer stoptech lines myself.

I might do SS lines in the future. Not now though.

I'm surprised we haven't started shipping these.. I'll check on it first thing tomorrow..

Is there interest for a GB?

I am sure there would be Josh.

I wouldn't be surprised if StopTech lines were made by Goodridge.

:tup:...This'll give me an excuse to pull my calipers and powdercoat them...

Working on it now.. There is a difference needed with the Akebono calipers, but nothing huge. I'll post details when I have them.

I have CZP's lines in my garage right now, but the heat killed my plans to install today :) Soon, soon.

Definitely not. Stoptech does have lines for the G37 coupe, and I would be very surprised if they didn't cross over to us. I have had not so good results with Goodridge lines on corvettes, but stoptechs are a great product.

So the Goodridge lines are being worked on ASAP. There just needs a minor change to one of the banjo bolts off the non-sport kits to accommodate the new caliper. Kit will be very similar to this:

Side note: The kit pictured above (Part #GOOD22034) fit the 370Z non-sport. :)

Yeah that looks suspiciously like it will work with the stock brackets and attachment points, too, which probably makes routing and travel stuff simpler.

They mirrored Nissan's design with the block fittings.. adds cost, but will bolt up like OEM.

Other than the brackets, is there a reason why the goodridge lines cost more than other lines. Other than brand name, is the quality better, because in some cases, they're almost twice the price as other brands.

Goodridge SS brake lines
 

Since the 370Z has a hard line to the caliper you can use the M35/45 line kit minus the extra flex line to the caliper. The 2 cars (M35/45 and 370Z) share the same hub. I just learned this when I installed the 370Z sport calipers and rotors on my 06 M45 as a direct bolt on. No brackets were necessary and the line routing is darn near identical. I think I've even seen some retailers selling the M35/45 kit for the 370Z already.

Can you confirm that the M35/45 SS lines will work on the 370Z sport?

Well the 370z ss lines from concept z worked on my M45 - can't see why they wouldn't go the other way

The CZP lines are very different from the Goodrich ones design-wise though. The Goodrich ones emulate the stock layout and use the stock brackets.

yep. spindles, wheel hubs, all of that jazz are the same between the m45 and g37/370

I'm in for a GB...

Our line kits are in and shipping and in the low $100 range if you dont want any GB etc! :tiphat:

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.

will be interested in GB and whats the difference between goodridge and challenge?

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!
