Earl's or Russel?

 

I've never tried the russel lines but have earls on my crx. honestly what could the difference be?

I've also used goodridge before and they were also excellent

 

Ive had both and battled leaks nonstop with my track car.....OEM, no problems at all.

 

OEM for sure

Interesting. Did you pinpout where the leaks were coming from?

 

OEM still works great for me, never seen a reason to upgrade.

x2, I've got a pretty decent brake setup, but never needed anything better as far as the lines went. After what our friend in Mormonland said. I think I will pass.

 

ok... well guess what... i baught the russel brake lines last week and i got them today... Ironicly it looks as if my brake line snapped today stranding me on the parkway... OEM... idk what it could really be, because there is alot of fluid by the prop valve... anyone ever have any problems like this before? could it just that the prop valve wasn't tight enough... i have a 4040 from da rear disks 1 1/2 years ago

On both sets it was from the fittings on the aftermarket lines. I am confident it was not tuner error, due to how many times I and "we" tried to remedy the situation.
When my Earls lines puked, twice, I switched to the Russells, and same **** after a few track sessions......

If its on a daily, you might get out ok, but in my opinion, I will NEVER use brake lines that are not specificaly D.O.T. certified.

Just personal experience, Im not saying they are junk, its just my experience. Went through 2 sets of earl and 3 sets of russell.........

 

&lt;-- Stoptech. which are DOT certified.

 

goodridge

 

kingmotorsports.com ftw
I forget the brand name, but they're the best for sure, and less $ THAN ANYWHERE ELSE. YEE!

 

I had crx not long ago with russels. They gave me a great pedal feel and it was daily driven. I didn't really drive it too hard though
