Anyone try Goodridge stainless brake lines?
 
I just bought a set but before I put them on, I figured I would run it by the team! They are like the others, PTFE inner with stainless jacket, built specific for the car. Input appreciated!

I put a set on a car and the brakes felt significantly better

Have multiple sets of these on various cars. Good to go.

Thanks everyone! They will go on next week.

pointless but thats fine. Any improvements are from a good bleed and fresh fluid

Well the car got a fresh bleed 5k ago. I need rear rotors and pads so those will go on with the lines and then bleed them out. I am also swapping them on my MDX which has had spongy brakes all its life even after caliper rebuild, Hawk pads and a full bleed with RBF600. I'll update this when its all done. I have heard the harder lines perform better but I will decide that after my wife and I drive them. She has been hating on the mdx brakes for a while. I'm hoping I get closer to the pedal feel I had on a 924 I once drove for a short time. You could literally feel when the pad touched the rotor. Absolutely tactile pedal feel. Best brakes I ever felt in any car.

The verdict is in. The new lines improved pedal feel and reduced pedal effort. Not by a huge margin but noticeable. I am definitely not getting a stiffer pedal as some have said. It's about the same as far as resistance, but a bit more tactile and the fluid seems to flow better so less effort is reqiured to get the same braking result.
Worth the $180 purchase.
