My quick fittings popped off going into turn one at VIR, soaking the front wheel with oil and causing me to spin into a wall, so I kind of don't like them. Maybe if you have a ton of slack in the line they would be fine, but I had new lines made up at a hydraulic shop.

Also, two other guys had the socketless ones fail, and a couple guys have had the GTM kit supplied lines fail. Maybe in the long run, the Nismo one might be the safest answer, although I don't think anyone has had a failure with either Z1 or Stillen coolers.
