The first run that I did on the street after installing my new exhaust, my Supra accelerated considerably faster than I was used to.  I soon realized that this faster acceleration needed to be balanced with quicker stopping.  After all 60 to 0 is important too.  I knew that I needed to replace my old dried out lines.

The Goodridge lines are a direct replacement for the stock ones and are easily installed.  I put the car entirely in the air and pulled all four wheels.  After that it was an easy one to one swap.  I decided to upgrade the brake fluid and the bleeders as well.

1- Since the front Goodridge lines do not have the guide the stock ones do at the lower end, be sure to hold the new lines pointing straight forward when tightening.

2- The fittings are a softer metal than stock and may be more prone to cross threading or stripping so be extra careful.

1- The back 2 lines do not have threads all the way to the end of the fitting that joins the metal line on the car.  I think I only got about three full threads in before it tightened up.

Since I was replacing some old, cracked, weak lines, the payoff was probably big.  I say probably because it was hard to tell since I did this along with new fluid.

I'm sure that new stock lines are very adequate.  As they are rubber, however, they cannot help but expand a little which delays the braking time and increases the pedal pressure required to squeeze the calipers.  Old lines are even worse.  Mine were very old.

The braiding assures that the line will not expand.  Also, the stock line has a joint where it clamps to the shock and the braided line continues unbroken through a swivel fitting.  This removes one possible source of leakage, a good thing.
