Langly Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I seem to remember some discussion on stainless lines. But can not seem to find it in the archives. I would like to put on stainless brake and clutch lines. I would like to firm up the brakelines a bit. What is the consensus on manufacturers? Goodridge and Galfer make lines for the XX correct? This is about a $100 performance improvement project? What is the level of difficulty? How much time is necessary? Anyone offer any firsthand experience?

XX RATED Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Well the price will vary depending on weather or not you decide to de-link the brakes. I replaced my brake lines with Goodridge (UK) and kept the brakes linked. I do like the improved feel of the brakes, since the brake line expansion has been eliminated. As for approx cost - linked brake set should run approx. $350.00 I would suggest changing the clutch line also - to keep the set copistedic. Time to install - 1 good long Sat. afternoon - you will have to remove the fuel tank, and both lower body panels, remove as much brake fluid as possible from resevoir, and then remove the lines. Upon removal of the lines - you will need to re-install the new set of lines. Now the fun part - you have to bleed the entire system - thats 9 brake lines in all (including the proportioning valve, secondary brake cyl. and the junction blocks). It took me more time to bleed the f*#Kin' system that the rest of the steps put together! But like any other good upgrade - worth the effort when all is said & done......... :wink: Good Luck!
