Default Goodridge Steel Braided Brake Lines for R: DISCONTINUED?!?

I just went to a shop that carries Goodridge and they told me that Goodridge stopped supplying them for the R! Is this true?

If so, what do you guys feel about Russel's, Earl's, SMC, or KVR?

Thanks

NOPE! They just make them as they are ordered. Not too much demand...

SMC lines are good. The fittings on the ends are very high quality.

Then there's always Mugen.....

Oh I see...I'll be sure to tell them that.

Also, how much do they go for? The reason I ask is b/c they want a little over $400- Cdn. Isn't that a little too much?

Yeah, I might get SMC if I can't get the Goodridge. SMC's go for about $200 Cdn.

I went to Performance Improvements on the Queensway. I don't know who else carries Goodridge.

All the other shops I've been to only carry Earl's, SMC, KVR, or Neuspeed.

Say I order them, how long would it usually take for them to make it and have it sent?

It took about a month. I ordered 3 sets and they came seperate. I have a set installed now and am waiting for the other 2 people to make time to put them on.

I hear ALOT about steel lines and the fittings. I asked a friend that used to race Formula Fords and he had steel Braided for 5 Years and never had a problem or even changed them!!

Sorry...got OT!

If you need to get some I got a hell of a deal...I might be able to swing another set....

Hmm I have plenty of the Goodridge sets in stock, and it usually only takes me about 5 days to get in (only because of shipping)
