I have Goodrich's also and I trust the name. Who's did you have? Edit never mind, see they are the same. That's kind of scary. Pics?

You can find lines which aren't DOT approved because the fittings don't meet the DOT spec but meet the TUV spec which are better.
I think SS lines are a waste of money for most people though. The rear lines are enough of a pain to do without having to do them again every year or so (which 90% of people won't do). I'd much rather use new rubber and not have to worry about it.Last edited by arsevader; 03-01-2006, 06:31 AM.Comment

these were the ones with the plastic sleeve over the SS line. if they were damaged upon install, then its the shops fault, not mine. i dont mess with bleeding brakes and whatnot, when i can have a shop do it for $50. i would take a pic of the busted line, but they threw it away when they changed it. im going to go bitch them out for throwing it away now, i was just happy to get my car back, didnt even think of getting the part back.IG: @Baye30

Here's a thought. For extra protection on uncoated SS lines, what about using a piece of regular heat shrink tubing over the outside of it. It'd protect it from "pebbles" and such as stated earlier.
