Default Ever heard of Techna-fit Brake Lines?

Hey guys. I found a good price for brake lines, but they are from Techna-fit. When I asked the vendor about them, they told me that these have 360 degree swivel fittings that eliminate twisting when you install them.

Also, the owner of Techna-fit came from Goodridge.

He claims they're better than Goodridge and Neuspeed.

The prices I've seen for them are around $105. Neuspeed around $179 and Goodridge around $115. Can you give me some feedback on the Techna-fit brake lines? Thanks. Later.

are these for lines for accords w/ ABS, or w/o ABS? I generally see the ones w/ ABS more than $100, like $150-180 =\

I purchased a set a couple of years ago for my 4th gen. They did not have the swivle ends and one of the banjo fittings wasn't drilled all the way through from the line side to the banjo fitting. Other than that they looked and fit ok, but i sent them back and bought the goodridge lines. Hopefully the quality control is better with Techna fit now.

Hey. Thanks for your feedback guys. The guy didn't specify whether if it's for with ABS or not. I'm guessing they will work with either one. But I think that there's a different version for rear drum setup.

Hmm, your description makes it seem like Techna-fit lines are cheap and not manufactured right. Did you buy them because they were cheaper than Goodridge? And your Goodridge lines had the swivel ends?

I'm trying to see if by paying $30 cheaper ($130 vs. $100), I'd lose quality. I know Goodridge is a popular brand and I hear no complaints about them. But this vendor on groupbuycenter.com tells me Techna-fit is better because of the swivel ends and the president is supposedly from Goodridge. Anyway, thanks for your replies. If you have further information, I'd appreciate it. Later.

4th gen Accords with rear disks had ABS. Those with drums, did not have ABS. SEs and EX's had rear disks and ABS.

hey, do you know if the SS brake lines for a 4th gen are the same as for a 5th gen?

For the set of goodridge ones that you have, is there an outter layer that covers the SS braiding from any dirt? did the goodridge have swivle ends?

Sorry, I didn't see this post. I bought the techna-fit because they were easier to get at the time. Quality looked good at the time, but the miss drilled banjo fitting was obviously a fluke. They didn't have swivle ends then. That does seem like and advantage during install, but I dont think it really matters. Either brand are good (As long as the banjo fittings are drilled)

I believe they are the same kit. Not 100% sure though. My goodridge don't have any outer layer or swivle ends.
