Default StopTech vs. Goodridge brake lines?

Hello all,
I was looking around on the internet trying to find stainless steel brake lines for our cars. This would be for front Supra TT brakes. The two that I found were StopTech and Goodridge. Now, I read many good things about Goodridge and that they are one of the best, if not the best in this category. I can't seem to find a good deal though for Goodridge brake lines. I have found StopTech stainless steel brake lines though for about $40-$50 less. Are there any measurable/notable differences in quality, pedal feel, and pedal response between the two brands? Also, the kit for GS300 and GS400 is the same right? I missed out on the deal for Goodridge brake lines from a CL member for $100 shipped. I'm wondering if I should hold out for a bit and use the stock GS brake lines with the Supra TT brakes but I know new brake lines would help optimize performance.

Thanks,
Theo

I have the Goodridge and I am very happy.

I cant say which one is better but I can say get some! Before my SS lines it was sponge city. Now its solid. Well worth the cost and effort.

Do you guys think Goodridge is only marginally better than the StopTech lines or a lot better?

Cool.

Well, my decision is even easier now since the auction I was looking at for StopTech lines shows 4 lines, but they only give you 2. How deceptive is that?? Goodridge's kit comes with 4 lines and all hardware.

Thanks guys!

Hi, sorry to thread jack.. but I was wondering.. when you do the supra or ls400 brake upgrade do you still order gs300 steel lines or would you order ls400/supra lines? thanks

Everyone has been telling me to get just GS lines for Supra BBK. I actually just had my Supra brakes installed yesterday and stock GS brake lines fit with a little modification.
