Does anyone have the website or contact info for Goodridge? I needed to get some info on their brake lines

 

You could try giving summit a call. They may have some info on them plus their prices are pretty good.

 

Anyone with contact info for Goodridge?? Pwease

 

I know mike at IPS has them in stock...he just showed info on it for his spoon caliper group buy

 

Yeah, I know; I am not looking on who to get them from (Mike and I talked already) I am just looking for info on how to get in touch with Goodridge to ask them some questions.

Not trying to be rude here, but read the question people. Please, just give me a phone # or website to get in touch with Goodridge! Thanks.

back from the dead.

my Goodrich lines just popped today after a panic stop Stomp on the brakes.

looks like dirt got under the braiding over the past 2 years and rubbed the inner hose thin enough for it to rupture inside the braiding so it leaks now and barely hold pressure.

I'm going to install stock lines again.

I would not use SS lines unless they have an outer rubber protective coating preventing dirt/grime from getting under the braiding and rubbing the inner hose right thru over time... this would have been a catastrophic failure if I was at a roadcourse or autox.

even a good visual inspection of the line reveals NO problems with the braiding, but it leaks and its scary! Ive had them on the car for 2 years now, daily driving mostly.

be careful you guys!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Today Your SS lines gave out?

 

guess I better check / clean mine...

 

yes indeed.
pop.
my front driver side wheel is coated with brake fluid.
yay.
I'm keepng my fingers crossed that I didnt throw out my stock lines when I cleaned out my attic a few weeks ago, wouldnt that just be my luck that I tossed 'em?!

they are actually ITR lines too, in case any of you ITR'ers get your panties in a bunch. I had run ITR front brakes at one point of my hatchcraps lifetime.

Wow - glad to see you're okay. Little did I know how happy I was to get Techna-fit lines & find out they have a rubberized coating that cleans off nicely for inspection!!!

 

Glad to hear you're fine though.

Coated SS lines = Inspect once in awhile
Uncoated SS lines = Inspect OFTEN

If you don't like inspecting lines or take brakes for granted, stick with the stock rubber stuff.

 

inspecting uncoated lines is not enough, they should be replaced on a set schedule....

Good point. Totally forgot about that. When should one replace said lines?

 

I dunno...I'd never buy uncoated lines for a street car.

The rule of thumb I heard was "a year."

 

It is always a good idea to inspect your SS brake lines every oil change. There was an article a year or so ago about an NSX that went off track into a tirewall because of SS line failure.

I know there are some places where you can send your lines to get them coated in a silicon type material. I have been thinking about doing this process for some time now.

Glad to see you and your car survived to tell the story

 

thanks

a NSX forum is the first place I had heard about this before, a year ago or more but I never thought the lines would bust without SOME visual symptoms. man was I wrong.

yes indeed, coated lines = good enough for street use.

if I had to use uncoated lines, I'd think every year would be best to replace them... especially if you are at a road course sometimes!

This is one reason why I rarely drive my R on the street anymore. Uncoated steel braided lines are meant for track use only where there is less dirt and grime and critical parts are inspected and replaced on a regular schedule.

I'm glad to hear you did well to bring your car to a stop safely.
