interesting. techna fit is relatively well known so if these become easily available they will have basically cornered the market.

i've been using techna fit on every car i've own.
from past experience on my 05 wrx and 95 miata they both significantly improved pedal feel .
the line also have great fitment on those other applications.. i will report back on installation and fitment
i was kinda worry because the application is not listed on their website they Stuart assured me it will fit 95 LS400

I've used technafit before on previous cars. I suppose I should check my lines and see how they are and order some.

only approved vendors can initiate group buys, so you should contact one of the clublexus vendors that carries Techna Fit and see if they have any interest in running a GB on the lines.

i though these lines would be readily available xD. I purchase my SS lines through Rotora awhile ago. I've seen significant improvement in pedal feel. how much are they through technafit?

interesting... looked online and their pricing is about $115 for all other Lexus kits.

i was trying to figure out if Supra brake lines would work with our cars, considering they have the same callipers, but this is much easier!

Searching works! haha

quick update. i just finished installing the techafit brake line
basically front and rear lines are same fitting same length.
So if you looking for stoptech or other brand just buy 2 sets of the fronts.
i think stoptech only make one Front part number

overall the brake pedal is much firmer.
installation was very easy. Only thing i had to reuse was two retaining clip on on the wheel well bracket near the hard line.
