SS brake line recommendations?

[Pete_89T2]

FWIW, I ended up picking up a set from Mazdatrix, which they apparently source from Goodridge, as the tags on the lines indicate. Anyway, unless they sent me the wrong set, these are NOT a drop-in fit. Mazdatrix isn't answering their phone today, probably off for the T-day weekend, so this job will wait till next week.

If I end up keeping these lines, they can be made to fit by grinding out the holes in the brackets a little bit for them to fit inside and clip properly just like the stockers. Took some measurements, and the round part of the new lines that is supposed to fit in the brackets is about 1/32" larger in diameter than the stock lines.

Interesting. I don't recall having to do anything to get mine to fit. Did you get the DOT or non-DOT approved lines?

Actually, now that I think about this I did the brake lines the same time I installed my coilovers. I have the old style Stance GR+ coilovers and everything went together nicely. What suspension setup are you running?

For the record, my Goodridge lines do not fit on Tokico Illuminas.

I'm running the KYB AGX adjustable struts, and I ordered the DOT approved lines. The thing is, the lines don't fit the brackets on the body side either, so it's not due to the aftermarket struts.
