Ive got hel lines in my gtst and my dad has in his gtr too cheap as chips work great and as far as i know are the only ADR complied lines.

[bluejeans]

ive got Hel lines and they are great - ADR approved also

[blind_elk]

I have Maltech lines - ADR approved (the first to be approved, I believe).

[Sinista32]

Use Goodridge ($320) and Hel ($200) - both ADR approved and I no complaints with either brand - yet!

Prefrence for Goodridge as the quality appears better.

[yogi000]

thanks for the tips guys...who sells to goodridge?

[nobby]

So what about the approx $200 delivered ebay ones.

How good are they?.

[gotRICE?]

HEL ones here too on R33 GTS25t.

No issues with them.

Talking just the front or front/rear?

Could always go down to a local brake place, most of then will have the facility to ADR ones up on the spot for you. If you are lucky they will have all colours of hose, fittings etc (not that it means much, but its cool to customise).

I had this done for my D2 Brakes, i think the cost was around $110 which for local/on the spot/talk to someone - was pretty happy with.

wow, thats pretty cheap...The group buy on Hels Phil did was 110$ from memory, was a good cheap easy fix.....had I known this^^^ I probably would have just done it instead..

always best to buy local, makes it easier to complain if shit f**ks up..

[yogi000]

i'm going front and rears

cheers for the help

Hel / Goodridge FTW.

I don't rate Maltech as they use a OEM type swage that beads the circumference in two areas instead of a proper high pressure coupling swage which firmly crimps the coupling in a uniform way. 20,000psi + high pressure fittings are swaged in this way. Does it make a difference? Probably not as the OEM is done this way - however I find this is a the cheaper way to do things instead of buying a proper swaging machine and dies to suit.

Maltech Style:

Proper High Pressure Swage:

I got a set of HEL lines.

Works great for the price too.

[GTRPSI]

I used HEL, Import Monster carry them, cheap, ADR approved and your supporting a forum sponsor (and SAU Nats sponsor)

Very helpful mob too.
