i don't remember the website. but i definitely recommend the lines, when i replaced them on the Z, it was a world of difference. it was great since i redid the whole system, it was the finishing touch. i just can't wait till i do it on my prelude, but i want to do the legend brake conversion first, or go with brembo brake upgrade

just be sure to fully bleed your brakes. then you should be good.

I put Goodridge on my 5th Gen. They work great but I had a little problem with the banjo bolts that came with the kit. I don't know if the same part number is intended for the 4th gen or what but the Bolts that came with the lines were a bit shorter than stock. Didn't look like it would be a problem so I went ahead and used them. As I was torqueing the last bolt to the factory spec (28 ft. lbs. I think)
it felt a little funny. Turns out the head started to twist off. I went back to the factory bolts and they worked great.

The lines definetly give you a better pedal!

are you doing road course driving with the car? are the current lines damaged? what specific reasons do you have for upgrading to SS lines? I was strongly considering doing the same until I realized the $100 investment (which must be repeated every 1-2 years) wasn't worth the harder pedal feel because an ultra-stiff pedal doesnt have too much to do with stopping your car in aggressive braking situations (i.e. on a road course NOT the street). If this is for the street, save your money for something else unless the current lines are actually damaged.
