Stainless Steel lines for GE8

Does anyone make the ss lines for a ge yet?

The only kits I've seen for the fit only include 4 lines, where the GE8 has six rubber brake lines.

EDIT: On second inspection, it only has 4-- false alarm.

Check with Stoptech USA. They just develop a kit last week for the GD. I know I was there but as for the GE they are positive that it wouldn't be much of a hassle to do. It should be out in the market soon.

TEFLON BRAKE LINE MATCHING LIST (ENGLISH).

Yeah, for $368... No thanks. Besides, they're really ugly.

I am currently working with Goodridge to help them make a set of their lines for the GE8 Fit and add them to their application guide and catalog in the near future. I sent them a full set of the Honda OEM brake lines and they're prototyping some stainless steel Goodridge lines at the moment.

There are some small issues with duplicating the OEM metal brackets at the ends of the lines, but they should be able to figure out a solution. If not, some very minor modification may have to be made to the car (a drilled hole) so that a tab from one the brackets will slot in (it prevents rotation of the end of the line and bracket).

Stay tuned! I'm waiting to hear more from Goodridge in the next week or so.

Cheers,

Baz

Cool, I'd much rather have name-brand brake lines.

I am a little worried that some chinese man made my brake lines in his kitchen.....

Nope, they sold. I didn't install them after all.

I was out of town (for a month) when the prototype lines arrived , so I'm just now getting set for a day in the shop to test fit them. They look fantastically well put together, I'll say that much. I should have an update in a few weeks. Need to give them (Goodridge) a call and update them on where I am in the process.

Cheers,
