The stainless steel braid isn't the important bit. The real magic is that the actual line is made of Teflon, which gives you:
- less expandable than traditional rubber lines (gives you firmer pedal feel) - degrades less than rubber when exposed to heat repeatedly over time The downside of Teflon was that it was easily punctured or cut by debris compared to a traditional rubber line, so they put a stainless steel braid around it to protect it. A rubber line with a SS braid is essentially no different than the OEM line, except it has some additional protection against getting cut. You should do lots and lots of research on the history of various brands of brake line (and their failures) before you go installing them. The last thing you want is for your brakes to be a ticking time bomb. |

best part about the goodridge lines is they are DOT approved. not sure about other brands listed but I had a set of goodridge lines on my ae86(red one, not the black one in my sig) and with a new mc, motul RBF600, project mu rotors/pads, aerodyne mc brace... man that thing could throw your eyeballs on the dash with the stock calipers.
good choices, OP!

Note: the DOT doesn't actually approve anything. http://www.stoptech.com/technical-su...rake-lines-q-a

My Brembo GT BBK came bundled with Goodridge brake lines so I would say you made a safe bet.
