Goodridge SS brake lines
 
Guys, im buying some SS brake lines very soon and i've decided to go with Goodridge since several friends have used and spoke highly of them. I have noticed there are several part numbers of the goodridge brakelines that would fit the BRZ/FRS. Anybody here bought a goodridge yet? Can you kindly share the part number of the item you bought? Thanks in advance!

Goodridge lines are very good. The part on our site is the right one. ;) All we do is the FRS/BRZ.

Glad someone posted this as ive been considering going this route as well, and was wondering something. These Goodridge, and Stoptech seem roughly the same price, but the Spiegler cost the same as those for just the front or rear. What is the difference, if any? Or is it just brand inflation?

I'm running stop tech lines because they were available locally, you're pretty safe with any of the known brands. As long as they're DOT approved you're golden.

I've run Goodridge on another make vehicle. Way pleased on fitment and assembly quality!

From what I've heard, the goodridge lines are the same lines as stoptech with different packaging.

Noticeable differences, especially in the rear fitting. Is it worth the monies to you? Possibly. To me? Yeah, and Essex sells them so why wouldn't I pick them up while ordering my brake stuff.

@FT-86 SpeedFactory

Diggin up an old post for a question. Did the Goodridge rear SS lines have the kink in the rear to replicate OEM fitment/layout?

Unless Goodridge manufactures the Stoptech SS lines, then they might be. I live near Goodridges facility. Not sure about Stoptech, but I know they possibly manufacture their own lines. They wanted to use my Mazdaspeed3 back when it came out to measure for brake lines.

I'm not sure which is better, but I'd like to know. I'm getting ready to upgrade my upgrade my pads and lines. Would really like input on which way to go.

I've had the stoptech lines on my car since May with no issues (even in -35 C).

In all honesty, if the lines are DOT approved you can't really go wrong. Just beware of anything that isn't approved.

I've had the goodridge lines in my car practically since it was new. First thing I did was pads, lines and fluid. Car had 500km on it. They fit great, brackets are perfect. Sounds like you can't go wrong with either brand.
