Brake lines

[craigy197]

Never had these fitted to any of my cars owned, do they really make a difference having them on car ?

Looking at the Goodridge brake lines

Thanks all

No. You will not notice unless you're looking for the difference. Possibly placebo effect.

As Merde Francais mentioned above.u will not feel any difference.have had them on my car for 6 months now and never felt a slightest difference..
a different story might be when u do a track day..alongside with some decent pads and fluid-they should perform better but again-i couldnt tell a difference tbh..
hope this helps

They say on site quicker reaction and less spongey etc, have ordered a set now so will see I suppose

 

[Pav]

the best way to find out is to get a set..:jase:
not an expensive mod..so why not...

As above, you get zero difference for the first 50% of pedal travel but after that it does make a difference.

On my monitor I get a greater brake pressure also.

Have ordered a set so will put on when do the pads gone for white Goodridge to match car, thanks all for info

Craig, I'm looking to do my discs pads and hoses next month, I was just gonna buy the Ktec brake lines but where abouts are you buying the good ridge ones from?

I had a set of goodridge lines on my old track Saxo years ago and noticed a big difference, but maybe standard 197 and 200 lines are just very good which is why everyone is not noticing much difference.

Have a look on Camskill, they have Hel and goodridge

got mine from ebay..cant go wrong with either of them two brands...£60 delivered...

Just be careful when routing the Goodridge hose, the ones I got came with a P clip to keep the brake pipe tight to the top of the hub carrier. it didn't work and within 20 miles the pipe was rubbing on the inner edge of the rim.

Gone with ktec hoses this time as they have rubber tubes on the pipe so you can reuse the existing Renault pipe bracket - a proper job

 

[Merde Francais]

I agree with this. Had to make a new clip for mine to keep it steady on the Goodridge ones.

Any idea where I can get A N/S and O/S brake pipe bracket?

Cable tie did the job for me...

I used P clips with no issues - just have to be careful.

Iv looked on the net loads and can't find anything, I even went to Renault and come away with the bloody ABS braket because they didn't no what was needed. (Il still use these mind)
P Clip is a good shout.
What's the thread size to attach it?
