What Stainless Brake Lines
What Braided Stainless Brake Lines are you guys using. I want something that is coated. I found some made by Techna Fit and some by Stoptech. Any opinions?
Thanks

I've got them and they seem to be of high quality.

I saw those today as well. Do they have the correct hardware to connect to the oem shock mounts?
I wonder who makes them for Corksport...Techna Fit offers the same colors...

You can get some large silicon tubing (You can buy 10' of clear for $5-$7) and sheathe it with that. I'm sure you can get some fancy colors too.

Here's what you want. They are like the JDM lines you guys are talking about. They have the Sheath around the outside of the braiding to prevent chaffing. JDM STYLE just like the Endless ones.
I can do them for $125.00 shipped out of CA state in Dom USA, for the club guys. Just indicate this agreed price and go ahead and purchase thru the website if you're interested. This is your most economical line and is just as good or better than the more expensive non sheathed ones i see out there.

Sorry Rishie, you're a good guy and all, but I have to contradict you. They're not necessarily the cheapest available.
The Corksport lines are coated with your choice of colour, and are only $99. Mazdatrix's lines are sometimes coated (apparently some batches are, others aren't) and are $94.50. I've dealt with both companies and they've got great service. I know the Corksport FC lines have all the right bits to attach to the shock, and I'm pretty sure the Mazdatrix ones do too. It'll depend on the shipping price whether or not these are cheaper, but shipping should be less than $25 or $30, which will make these cheaper.

Where did you source your Troutman lines? I want to take a look at them.

Quick question so there is no confusion. I hear two terms, one is a "coated" and the other is a sheath/tube slipped over the braided line. My question is, are we all referring to the same thing?
If in fact different which lines have what different type? Since I don't have them all in front of me I can't tell the difference. I see a vast price range on brake lines and would like to see where the difference might be in terms of this "protective outer skin".
The ones I have seen with the "sheath" are lines like the Endless, Project Mu, and Agency Power Lines. The ones off the shelf from Goodridge do not have this "sheath'.
Thanks guys, Rishie
