    About to flush my brake fluid and thought I'd throw on some new lines while I'm at it.

    HEL or Goodridge?
    Both about the same price but the HEL have SS fittings, Goodridge zinc plated.

    Any experiences?

    Goodridge make a very nice product and you'll find them on v8 super cars etc.

    I just had a look at the HEL website and they look good too.

    A little while back GCG were clearing out their stock of SFS 300zx brake lines via their eBay store -might be worth a look.

    HEL for sure. All stainless. Neater crimps than good ridge. And supporting a small Queensland business.

    The company might be worldwide. But if you buy in Australia you are getting a product that is made here by a small business.
