Stainless Steel Brake Lines... did search nothing
My dad has a 96 LS400 and I would like to know where I can find some stainless steel brake lines for him. I checked carparts.com and they have it for the 90-94 models. Does anyone know where i can find some for the 1996 model? and if not any know if the 90-94 lines can work on the 1996? Thanx in advance.

well i'm bumping this old thread because my dad still wants some stainless steel brake lines for his 1996. From the searching, it still seems like there aren't any stainless steel lines out there for the UCF20/21. However, I'm surprised no one noticed this, but looking through a hyperrev, there are 3 companies that produce stainless steel brake lines for the UCF20/21; APP, SFIDA, and Cerumo Sports. Does anyone know their website? or any way to contact them? something that can point me in the right direction as to obtain the brake lines?

lists them for the UCF11
I have 2 celsiors, one with steel lines one with out.
Cant say I even noticed a differance.
Brake feel is pretty much identical.
Some claim a noticable differance tho.

yea in my search, some said that the UCF10 goodridge's may work but that it'd be a tight fit. Don't think my dad would go for that. Also, that's using a line for 2 pistons vs 4 pistons. I found these on yahoo japan... can anyone translate for me?

In the past search, I noticed puredrifter I believe said he could get Goodridge to make some if there was a demand. It's been close to a couple years and I'm sure the demand is there now as a lot of SC's are now using those 4 piston calipers as an upgrade. So not only would the brakes lines be beneficial for those LS's but also those SC's. Hope he chimes in here.

) and even then it is a maybe due to the lack of demand.lexant, the SC and GS guys who use our brakes have no problem using SS lines made for their cars, the banjo fittings on the ends of the lines are the same, its the length/shape that is the problem for the UCF20.

hrm is that so? i've spoken to a local sc'er who has LS brakes on his car and he said he had to use the LS lines. A lot of the SC guys who do the conversion have the spongy feel.
well nonetheless, i guess i'll try the jdm route. if i do manage to get my hands on it, i'll post up the info here.

yes, you hear so much about guys putting SS lines on their cars and having positive results, but every review ive seen involves guys who replaced their well aged already swollen lines, and most had not recently (if ever) flushed their brake fluid.
SS lines on a brand new car will not make an extremely noticeable difference in brake feel. throw new "normal" brake lines on instead of ur old and you'll feel a hell of a difference as well.

Sore subject for me.
I run SS on the front currently in my 94LS.
Got sent a set of front & rears that did not fit. Found out they did not fit in mid-install & quit after the front install that do not have enough length to properly fit in the bracket. They are "floating" as we speak.
Got sent a 2nd set that supposedly did fit but they were stolen out of my trunk by someone at the body shop that worked on my hit & run door damage.
My aggravation level is high!!

I will be hopefully getting a company to make a set probably in the 150 range a set range for the 95-00 LS . It will be atleast a month before i know how it goes as i will try it out on mine first before saying it is good enough for sale.
