SS Brake lines

I'm looking for suggestions on ss brake lines. What brand, where to buy, misc. feedback.
Thanks!

Installed in less than an hour, no problems with fitment at all. Everything lined up perfectly, no filing or fitment work required.

They look good, and make an already stiff pedal even stiffer.


I recommend them.

MazdaComp has the DOT for $60. It seems really cheap so it might only be a pair but it is a competition part so anyone can buy it.

There are two listings for ss brake lines on their site. One is a new product and is DOT approved. The other mentions it has reusable fittings. Do most of the ss brake lines have reusuable fittings or no? Could that be why they are so cheap?

These made a HUGE difference in pedal feel for me. I had all of my brake lines done, plus I replaced my pads at the same time (and had the rotors turned), and afterward my pedal was rock hard. I'm really glad I did it as it really added a lot of confidence to the car. I took it to the track afterward and drove like a maniac for several hours and toward the end I started noticing a little sponginess, but nothing to worry about (btw, use MOTUL 600 fluid when you replace your fluid).

Heath, I don't know. We would just have to call and find out.

I don't see how a brake line couldn't be reusable, they all screw on the same. Maybe they don't come with fitting at all and its just the hose and you have to mate it to the stock fitting, that would be stupid.

You must be a registered competitor with Mazda Motorsports in order to purchase ANY parts. This policy changed recently. If you are not a member, you can't get parts. The car must be raced twice a year and results provided in order to qualify.

www.mazdamotorsports.com

I am using the $60 lines from them and you do get all four They fit well and I had no issues installing them.

I put in Goodridge SS lines at the same time as Brembo cross drilled rotors and Hawk HP+ pads. Incredible difference in how the brakes feel. Well worth the money, and I have had no problems with the SS lines 2 years later.

"Reusable fittings" means that the fittings are not crimped on the lines, but rather that you could remove them and reuse them.

I think you have to use crimped fittings to meet DOT specs.

^ RacerX you can get MazdaComp parts from Mazdaformance. If for some reason they can't get it then Trixie said to call Spridle at rotorsportsracing and buy the Goodrich set from them.

FYI to all, MazdaComp brake lines are no longer covered with a plastic sheath, they are now using the Goodridge uncovered lines. (Which I guess I should have figured with the picture posted by DamonB...)

Too late for me. Besides, I'd rather save the $40 difference and coat them myself.
