mikeyb10supra Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 im interested in this as well, im asuming tefflon lines hoses are going to be the best but could be proved wrong.....hopefully CW will be along to give his views Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Goodridge hoses are not difficult to fit - although I would seriously recommend buying a brake pipe spanner (4 or 5 pounds I would think). A great improvement over aged stock lines, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonf Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Cheers Fish quick mission out to halfrauds I think lol. Was hoping someone might of documented it did a search couldn't find, if not I'll post some pics and tell of any problems I faced with 15 yr old brake lines lol.

Nic Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Definitely worth fitting decent brake lines, they will help firm up the pedal feel. Goodridge, TRD, WEDS all make good quality brake lines for the Supra.

Chris Wilson Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Goodridge are great, have the correct anchor points for the front hoses, but be SURE you don't get fobbed off by their el cheapo galvanised steel braided ones, you need the dearer, genuine stainless ones. the galvanising, if rubbed, wears through, then the stell braid rusts and the burst strength is in the braid.... They are chalk and cheese. I keep the Goodridge ones in stock, full stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 That's for the hoses, supplied and fitted and normal brake fluid to bleed. Fancy fluid will be extra. Seized solid fittings will be extra too, but only had that once on a MKIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
