Give their number a call the guy will be more than happy to direct you to your local dealer

They can make the lines up while you wait and they come with a rubber colar on them that has their ADR approval number and they are coverd with a clear plastic sleeve



You can also get with coloured stainless braid

What brake lines are you currently using? EK or DC2?

Thats what i'm trying to find out. I'm not sure man. Do EK9's have the same brakes as DC2R? Therefore EK9 lines will fit?

Get all 4 corners.
Not point only getting front.
Idea with braided lines is to reduce flex under heavy braking or caused by heat.
Not to mention decay over the years.

Get front and rear.
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.

yea i thought so. i was hoping i could get out of spending the xtra 200$ but yea probably a bad idea

Thanks ek4 guy, i'll give them a call. Can they measure the original lines without removing them from the car?

you only live once so don't cut corners when it comes to brake...

keep it stock if you don't have the budget

Goodridge also make ADR approved lines for a reasonable price if you buy locally. www.vsport.com.au sell them (made to order). But you need to know which model of brake line you currently have.

Been speaking too some people and i've been advised to only get the front lines (at least for now untill i test the setup). Apparently the rear ones are not a necessity and some ppl prefer to leave them stock as it gives you some flex in the pedal. any thoughts?

Someone must know what lines i'm running. There's heaps of people with the exact same setup.
