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?

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.
