^^^ yup, there's no point to it really...prolly the only time ppl get their brakes really hot is when riding the brakes all the way going to Maracas, but by the time u ready to go home, it's back to normal

How much did they cost & on what vehicle? I'm upgrading my brakes as well & contemplating whether to import or have them made locally.
Also, Trinidad Hose is now making them as well >>> http://www.trinituner.com/v3/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=473318&p=6771534#p6771534

I had a steel braided oil line done there a couple years ago. Just had to carry the fittings I was going to use it for. Well built, short wait, courteous staff. Can't remember how much I paid though.

its the same material used except your paying 2x more for the Goodridge brand name........These local companies are professionals when it comes to these things so why wouldn't it be good? because its not made by goodridge??
I know a couple people who made lines there and had no problems at all..

Its been just about 4 years, anyone had issues with any?
I need to replace a line and thinking about going this route. A tuner was telling me last night of a steel braided line that blew out on a hilux and he got in an accident. Would it have been a cheaper line that this happened to?
I have goodridge lines on the vehicle and no issues. Seems a hard line kink somewhere and I dont know where, line is dry after a joint.

There is a joint under the rear seat. It continues from there along the handbrake and abs line, into a seam between the fuel tank and body, under the sub frame, out the subframe, makes a U and joins the steel braided line. I want to replace that length of ss line. Will have to take out the subframe to replace it. Diff and thing have to drop to take it out. Real work.
Regardless of line size, once primed with fluid the pressure should be the same. No?
If i reroute the line and replace the current steel braided line its about a 2 feet run as opposed to nearly 4 to 5 that is currently there.
Why wont I be allowed on the track with them? I understand its popular with a lot of these drift cars (odd how most are silent on the issue).

Sure as hell cant control that kind of power.
Just know that under the car is not like the usual sentra.
The braided is a temp replacement until I doing rear bushings if I am not confident they wont hold out. Car camr with goodridge braided lines from the caliper to the ss lines btw. And I gave them brakes some jamming already.
