Thread: Brake Lines

Call the guy I put up there and ask him.

Thanks for your advice.

They are mostly for my peace of mind. They maybe just a little better but I just want to know they are the slightest bit better.

For the pat few years I have occasionally had dreams where my car just wouldn't stop, no matter what I did.

Crown. My Goodbridge eventually wore through and leaked in the back, the Greg V lines are a lot tougher, larger diameter, stronger fittings on the ends. I'll spend the money for brakes and not somewhere else, you just can't mess around with losing brakes esp if you track the car, or even autocross.

Maybe overkill for normal street use, but best lines I have ever seen:

Bling? No one ever sees my lines, how can that be "bling"? The Goodbrige lines did not have the level of pedal feel I get with the Greg V lines, and they have a layer of kevlar in their SS sandwich. You'd like them even less because they are even stiffer, but they're not going to blow out at the fittings, and no "jury rigging" required. My Goodbridge line did blow out because of how it was zip-tied to the strut instead of using the fittings, that's a valid concern. On my other car the OEM lines have nicks and cuts on their surface, and I'd hate to be the one spewing fluids on the track besides the prospect of losing my brakes.

Agree they're overkill for street use, money better spent elsewhere in that case. Just like using Hawk HPS pads on the street, 90% of the time they never get warm enough to be effective - on my rears I just use stock Nissan pads, they work fine and are a lot cheaper. As it is I have a touch of rear bias, due to the larger rear Altima/B15/Max calipers and rotors.

With the front Fastbrakes and good lines, larger MC and 1000 lbs less mass to stop, they feel as good or better as the Brembos on my G Coupe. That's saying a lot, those are some great stoppers.
