Just curious as to what my options are for steel braided brake lines everywhere I look I only see them for the second gen. Any help would be appreciated

I just received a set last week from "Touge factory". They are made by a company called "GOODRIDGE". The part # is gr21002. They are actually intended for the 97-05 2nd gen GS300, but They look like they will work for our 1st gen GS300's.


This is a diagram of the front 1st gen GS300 hose taken from rockauto.com. There is barely a slight bend at the banjo bolt end of the hose.

On my 2nd gen stainless braided GS300 hoses, this end is perfectly straight with not bend at all.



This is the rear 1st gen GS300 brake line hose diagram and there is a 40 degree bend in its stock form.

For the 2nd gen GS300 stainless steel braided line, this looks exactly the same as the 1st gen brake line.

Thanks for all the info, do you think its worth it to order a set? Im doing the brakes and suspension in a couple weeks and thought it would be a good time to upgrade them

Good upgrade; increases "feel" in the brakes. Takes away the sponginess that is sometimes found in older rubber brakes lines. I run Goodridge in all my cars.

I just replaced all brake lines with stainless braided lines on my other ride, and it is exactly as Ken's_GS300 has said above. It made the pedal feel firm, and removed the sponginess. You literrally get instant reaction from your foot pedal inputs.

I also flushed out the DOT 3 brake fluid and changed the whole system to DOT 5.1 brake fluid, and used hand pump vacuum bleeder kit to bleed the the system. It made a big time difference in pedal sensation. So much so, that I realize how inefficient this top brand of brake pads is. After the upgrade the braided hoses just revealed this to me.

I bought some awhile back. I will have to check my email when I get home to see where I bought them and the part number. I think they were technifit like I have on my supras. Install was super easy.
