I tried them and they made a good difference..
the sensitivity of the pedal is much greater and brakes faster too...

these are the one I have

go check corksport site too..

i was the one who posted about the improper fitment. mine were too large to fit in the strut but the dremmel took care of that. i know only of one other person who had the same problem as i, could be the struts? who knows. but all in all i love them ten times better than stock. but without ABS i tend to lock them up every know and then in the wet.

had the same problem as you ..the bracket hole on the strut was too small for the line fitting.

Well the NEW goodridgekit should fit probertly and they have corrected their specs now so the lines come with midsupports on them :)

Nope have fitted his kit and he said that there was no fitmentissues, i have my new kit laying right here and it looks real good "Qualitystuff" The polymercoating is really bendable and you can get it in allmost every colour and most important for the European guys on here it comes with Tüv

Allso it says on the box something about lifetime warranty,but i guess thats just a salesgimmick because thoose warranty's allmost never work :p

I bought an MX-3 brake line set (ex ebay) from Elite Auto service Centre, (they are located in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada). I haven't been able to put them on the car yet. The package I received only contained 3 of the 4 lines. It also turned out that I had been supplied with a set that did not fit the MX-3. I have been dealing with Raymond from Elite and his communication and speed of response via email has been excellent. So I am hopeful it will work out OK. The hoses I have received are of good quality with zinc coated and anodised fittings. The SS line itself is enclosed in a clear "plastic" sheath. It looks to be a good product. They are branded as Magnum Stainless Steel Brake Lines. I have never heard of the barnd. Any one else used them?

Haven't installed my braided brake lines yet (forgot brand name) but know full well the advantages of them since I used to make my own from aircraft lines and fittings and were a must on the past few motorcycles I've owned. I've also got Magnum Cadmium plated CD rotors front and rear that will also be installed this winter from the same place. I wasn't permitted to see them in person to purchase even though they're not that far away but they dealt only in internet sales.
