    Default Stainless Steel brake lines

    Guys,
    who has the best SS brake lines? I had a set of Earls and that is the one that failed on me so I am inclined not to buy them again.

    I've used Goodrich since I started racing in 04. I have changed them 2 times I think, but that was "chasing" a bad pedal.

    Probably a good idea to change them out every 2-3 years I think -- your failure spooked me quite a bit.

    Jeff, that is the brand that I had narrowed my search down to but wanted some opinions. Where to buy?
    Yep been on fire, pulled the steering wheel off ect but the no brake thing was the scariest!

    I've been running Goodridge (I think that's the brand Jeff & Steve are referring to) on the 240SX since I started tracking it in 2005, with no issues at all. I know I'm overdue to replace them; it's on the list. I bought mine from PDM Racing, but they now only sell their own brand. Tirerack, as well as Buybrakes.com (check out the later's prices on pads while you're there) both carry Goodridge. I don't know about the Z cars, but I do know Wilwood, Russell, and Stop Tech all also have kits for the 240SX, so they may be worth checking into.

    Goodridge, yes, that is correct. My bad.

    Thanks Earl.
