Yea, but at least the Sun's out.

I'm trying to remain positive here guys.........you know that positive mental attitude thingy........it takes a lot of effort.......I'm exhausted by noon every day.

Next week is looking better....some temps in the 40's.....higher 30's.......

Yes. I still need to get an oil cooler and change brake fluid before I do though.

What do you think of the z1 ss brake lines vs ones like Goodrich or stop tech?

Ni55anPat · 03-21-2013, 01:31 PM

I would go with z1, priced good....i would think SS lines are all the same?

You would think, but them I have some people say the Goodrich are better made. Who knows

JB1 · 03-21-2013, 04:31 PM

The Z1 lines I have look like quality pieces, can't see how (and why) the Goodrich ones can be twice as expensive. The Z1 lines also have a vinyl coating over the steel braiding. keeps dust and dirt out of the braiding and protects suspension parts the lines might rub on. (stainless steel is harder then aluminum...)

Did you already sign up for a track day? I'll be at Autobahn on June 3rd with MVP
