Re: SS brake lines: Goodridge or Stop Tech?
If you dont want to get into a pissing match, should you be calling other brake flex lines garbage?
The Magnum might not be the right choice for the track but I'm sure they are plenty good for street use

G-Force used to say the same thing but the fact is if they're gonna leak from use at 1400PSI which is what our braking system working pressure is supposed to max out at, then they should never look like this.
(the blue stuff is brake fluid between the stainless line and the outer couting)
I'm not gonna get in a pissing match about brake lines but this isn't a hollow warning either. I wouldn't eat a guard rail, ditch, curb, wall or other car because I saved $10 on my brake lines and in the grand scheme of things, if you don't want to spend the money for a good set of stainless lines from StopTech or Goodridge, you'd be better served by the factory lines than some garbage ones that will fail on you when you need them the most.

And as for not being good enough for the track but plenty good for the street, there is a higher probability of it being seen before catastrophic failure on a track car than one only street driven.

Re: SS brake lines: Goodridge or Stop Tech?
I track my car as most here know. I inspect my suspension, brakes including lines etc. before every event so Rudy is right on the money. I'll add that 50% of the incidents I've seen on the track have been brake related and usually result in roll over damage, head on impact in the case of newbies or side impact with a tire wall with a more experienced driver. I have Goodridge and Stoptech lines and the Stoptechs are on my car and the Goodridge in the closet. As far as who's is best and who's are a danger I just don't know. But I only want the best, what I believe I have, after seeing brake failures on the track resulting in totaled cars.
