Which is best and has anyone had any experience with either???
I can get some HEL brakelines with stainless steel fittings and clear PVC cover for 62 quid.
Same type but Goodridge for just over 100 quid.
Thinking on going with the HEL's purely cos they are cheaper, but wanna know what peoples experiences are of them. I believe Goodridge are a very reputable brand but if theres bugger all in it as far as performance and quality go then ill get the HEL's
Thanks

u'd be fine with either - but before you rush and spend the money! I got some goodridge ones from ebay for £27!
oh yeah and your better off going to just two lines instead of the standard three!

I imagine ill get the same performance from the HEL lines, either will be an improvement over standard; as good as the brakes already are.

I just bought it from halfords and just flushed it through a couple of times
to get rid of the dot 4 fluid.
Dot 5 just said that stood better temperature and it was cheap.

I think a lot of Japanese cars use Dot 5 fluid as standard.
Can't remember why
I'll have to ask...
