i dont think theres much of a difference between them and the goodridge, but they will both improve performance over the stock ones.

I hate to hijack this thread, but Ive been wondering something. If you have upgraded your brakes, say Integra discs all wheels on a Civic, which line kit do you buy? Do you still buy the kit for Civics, or do you go with the Integra kit?

goodridge.. and you buy the lines for the brakes you are running.... ie civic cx with gsr brakes, you buy gsr lines

I believe the larger brakes probably require longer lines. When I swapped my VX fronts for Sir fronts, the line coming from the caliper is a bit tight. That is to say, it reaches, but it has very little slack. I was concerned about that enough to consider buying new lines, I worry about stretching the ones on there that don't seem to fit quite right.
