Thread: Brake Lines

Greg at Gspec has some really nice brake lines. They are nearly bulletproof. I love them and are track proven.

Wow I can't believe I didn't think about Greg

yeah his are very good from what ive heard.

I wish I had the money to get Greg's.

Mirror do you have pictures of your brakelines? If you don't mind

My fronts are from FastBrakes (not sure what brand) and my rears are from Gspec (not sure what brand). The lines from Greg seemed of higher quality.

sorry, only pics are on my work computer. Ill get them posted tomorrow morning.

BUT...just my .02 here.

when you get the ss lines, you will notice something very important. The screw that the liquid goes through has two holes (compared to 1stock) and the bottom portion is bored larger than stock meaning more fluid. What you COULD do to save cash is bore out the stock screws, put an extra hole or 3 in it, switch to synthetic fluid, install new rotors and good pads and probably make out pretty sweet.

Im sure the ss lines add better cooling but with more synthetic fluid going into stock lines, youd be very well off.

Again, just a cheaper suggestion.

I should be getting a pain&suffering check soon. So hopefully it will be a decent amount.
The kid I was in the car with got 3k

Along the lines of what Mirrortints is saying, you never mentioned why you are buying ss lines. I know that you didn't ask for advice on whether to do this, but just where to buy, so please ignore my input if it's not welcome.

BUT, you seem to be looking to spend as little as possible and the least costly thing to do is to keep your OEM lines (or buy standard replacements if you need replacements). I drive 2 Classics -- one every day, the other on the track. The dd has stock brakes and lines, the track car has ss lines with NX2000 front brakes. When I switched to the ss lines, there was no dramatic change in pedal feel. So if you are looking for a dramatic change in braking or pedal firmness, you will probably be disappointed. On the other hand, the dd car, with stock lines, calipers, a properly adjusted brake pedal, and good pads has an equally firm pedal and is more than adequate for street driving in my opinion.

One thing I do not like about the ss lines is that they are less flexible than OEM and, therefore make it harder to swing the caliper up to change pads. Also, they may not fit the clips that secure them to the strut housing, so you may have to jury rig something. What you will surely get from the ss lines is bling, better heat resistance, and maybe improved resistance to damage from flying debris. If this is what you want, then go for it.

Just my 2 cents worth.

i had one of my ss lines rub off on a wheel because of the clip.. i wish somebody would sell me just 1 front one

Wow very well put
