This is probablly the best upgrade for my brakes I have ever felt. Pedal feels pretty normal until I am really into the brakes, then when I am into them good god do they stop. It's like trying to squash a rock. I have still got stock rotors, w/ freshly replaced AEM pads and it seems to be a great combo. Anyone who is looking for a good brake mod, do the lines, they are worth it!!!

 

my brake pedal is pretty solid if i hit it, but if i leave my foot pressed on the pedal for a long time, about 6+ seconds pretty hard, it will slowly depress. Does this mean I need a new master cylinder.

Also sometimes when i brake while gliding backwords i hear a knocking in the wheel areas. You think the caliper pins need to be lubed?

sorry for jacking this thread.

 

Where did you get the stainless lines from?

I don't know man, I am not a brake tech, but I am sure someone in here has experience.

 

If your pedal is fully depressed and it slowly sinks to the floor with constant pressure, fluid is leaking by the piston seals in your master cylinder..so it's time for a new one. I don't know if your caliper pins would make a knocking noise if you're going backwards.. lube them anyway and try, it takes less than a minute for each pin after your wheels are off.

 

i just got new crossdrilled slotted rotors and pads but didnt do the ss lines. ive got 500 miles on them now , so i was testing them out yesterday. OMG way better than stock. now i roll up to redlight doing 60 with like 20ft to spare and just give it braking power only halfway down, wow these are awesome. i wonder how much more ss lines will help

 

I love my Goodridge lines!!

However, now that I don't Auto-X anymore, I hate the damn slotted and crossdrilled Brembos on my car... once they warp, it's all over for them.

 

At my last autocross, I had some trouble modulating the brakes. Too much lockup :-( I hear the SS lines help that situation a lot. It may be a project this summer.
