Only for the street, if he's going to track i would for sure upgrade them, brake lines are a wear item, they are made out of rubber and expand/contract and should be replaced. Lets face it, for an inexpensive part, its a small price to pay for added insurance that you can stop when you need to stop at the track.

I agreed.

i had 3 sets fail so far between me and friend. that is the goodridge they eventually leaked. mine on my ef the rears leaked in the middle and on my friends integra they wore out fast towards the ends and then again on my other civic the same problem. they just didnt last more then 6 months and the only car that was drove really hard was my friends integra track car. just a bad taste im sure in my mouth, ive had hel lines before and they were great on my bikes.
i guess ill give the technafits a try and see if they are any good. they are cheap and seems to be carried by alot of online stores so for 80 bucks a set i cant lose if i have to change them out every year.

and the goodridges failed after 3 months on my ef crx.

the challenge seems to be a good choice too i was gonna get them and do a write up review just to see what they are like.

the jdm brands are all kind of the same just differant colors and tags really, ive pretty much owned them all even the hks black lines.

they all wear out eventually, id rather just get some that are a good price that i can afford to change out often, that is w/o them failing so quickly

I have Russel lines in the rear, Stoptech's in the front. Installed the Russel's on all 4 corners back in July, then switched the fronts to the Stoptechs in August when I upgraded to their BBK. I did around 5 track days total - 3 with Russel front and rear, 2 with Stoptech fronts and Russel rears. Haven't had any problems with either. HTH

most stainless brake line failures are due to using lines that do not have a coating or are not dot approved.

if there is no coating, then dirt will get between the steel and the plastic inner part of the line and it will start to leak quickly there after.

I have been using goodridge for the past 5 years on the track. Never had a failure. I am on some very aggressive tracks like Road Atlanta. OP, I would question the install and if there was any strain on the lines and what kind of fluid do you use?
