I originally ordered the Goodridge lines through Supra Sport, however due to scarcety of the product I went with the Earls ones. Overall great lines. There is a definate improvement over stock lines. Easy to install your self....but I caution you that doing brake lines is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. Read up on it first, get a friend that knows how to do it (three is a good number), or take it in to be done.
What you'll need for install
1) Brake bleeder kit... Available from any autoparts store
2) New clean brake fluid (I suggest you flush the old fluid out)
3) Set of sockets and wrenches (I do not remember what size exactly but I believe it was a 1/2 wrench, a small one metric size 10 I think, and a metrick size 12 socket for the caliper bleeder plug)
4) 3 good friends. One to pump the brakes, one to add the fluid, one to watch the brake bleeder kit.
The nice thing about these lines is that they are easy to install, some modification will be required to fit the brakelines on the front of the car. The modification is to enlargen one of the holes the lines travel through. This is easy to do with a dremel. Another beautiful thing about this kit, is that if for what ever reason one of your lines bursts, or cracks due to a spring unloading (as in my case), the stock lines will mate up the the SS line. The down side is that you need to order a whole new set for the part you need. In speaking with Earls, there are no replacement parts, only the kit.
Once the lines were installed, I had noticed a firmer brake pedal. Stopping distance was also improved from various speeds. I would reccomend these lines to anyone thinking of upgrading them.
Hope this helps and thanks for reading
