Default Goodridge stainless brake lines

Are these any good? Do all 94+ Integra (ITR, GSR, LS) share the same brake line configuration?

Yes...and I think so.

I have the Goodridge lines. I suggest though that if you get them, check them frequently. Unless you are on the track alot, they wont help much. I personally consider them a safety item, more than a performance upgrade.

Money well spent


ALL DC2's will use the same lines.

Why should I check them freqently? I don't expect any performance gain from the SS lines, just higher temp rating than rubber lines and less chance of cracking. Also, how much do they run new?

I hear that they are not as resilient as rubber. The Goodridge lines *could* get debris trapped in between the steel braids and cause failure. The benefit to rubber is you can SEE the cracks and bubbles.

This is only what I have read...although I took it with a grain of salt and use them myself. I just want to be safe and check them every so often.

I also read when I was researching them that the crimp on ends are prone to un-crimping....just take it FWIW

With any braided line, you need to make sure they are not rubbing anything or they will wear thru and break. Unless they have the plastic sleeve on them it's best to check them every once in a while...

Good point about the temp resistance... I think they are anout $100 for a set.
