hello members..

 

i ordered some stainless steel goodridge brake lines and noticed something a little odd about the lines... each line (4 in total) is a little bit different in length and has a nut that seems to be at a different location on each line.

 

here is a pic of the items in question, the circled parts are at different lenghts on each line, as well as each line is a little different in length.

 

im sure its not a big deal but i just wanted some xpert advice

Are they specifically for a legacy?

thats what it says on the goodridge box, as well as what i ordered...

 

any ideas??

 

 

the place i got them from says that since goodridge doesnt have these parts just ready to ship, that they instead just build each order when its recieved. if that matters at all??

Don't those large threaded assemblies go thru the strut housing? I believe they are all different sizes due to the distances from each strut housing to the attach point on the calipers being different.

Ideally there should be two that match up for the front and two that match up for the back...

 

As long as the center lug is in a range to fit into the strut mount and allow full range of steering, they should be OK.

they do attach to the strut, but my thinking was that it should have at least matching pairs as well.. after i install ill post the news

maybe mark the old ones as you remove them, then find the closest 'twin' from the SS lines to reinstall?

 

Interesting, please let us know how it works out OK?

Hi theflystyle, did you figure out how these brake lines install? I'm asking because I was thinking of getting these lines for my '00obw and '96 legacy. My guess on your issue is that you said the place made them themselves, so they probably didn't cut the lengths exactly the same.

they installed fine, and i just had to secure them (zip ties) so they wouldnt move around to much...

 

but they were well worth it, while your down there think about checking your brakes, like a rebuild with gaskets, etc...

Thanks for the info theflystyle. Yes I had a siezed caliper guide pin on the rear and the wheel got hoootttt so I'm checking over all the brakes now. That's what made me think about upgrading flex lines. For the '00obw I ordered stoptech front and rear lines since I was ordering rear rotors anyway. For the '96 I might try the goodridge when I do the rear drum to disc changeover.
