Do you want Goodridge braided steel brake lines for the 370Z?

wstar · 06-26-2009, 02:55 PM

I have CZP's lines in my garage right now, but the heat killed my plans to install today

Soon, soon.

Definitely not. Stoptech does have lines for the G37 coupe, and I would be very surprised if they didn't cross over to us. I have had not so good results with Goodridge lines on corvettes, but stoptechs are a great product.

So the Goodridge lines are being worked on ASAP. There just needs a minor change to one of the banjo bolts off the non-sport kits to accommodate the new caliper. Kit will be very similar to this:

Side note: The kit pictured above (Part #GOOD22034) fit the 370Z non-sport.

Yeah that looks suspiciously like it will work with the stock brackets and attachment points, too, which probably makes routing and travel stuff simpler.

Josh@STILLEN · 06-29-2009, 04:25 PM

They mirrored Nissan's design with the block fittings.. adds cost, but will bolt up like OEM.

Other than the brackets, is there a reason why the goodridge lines cost more than other lines. Other than brand name, is the quality better, because in some cases, they're almost twice the price as other brands.

I had Goodridge SS brake lines that came with my 350Z RacingBrake BBK kit. Only had one brake line minor issue which was replaced at no charge. The brake lines fitment was spot on.

Since the 370Z has a hard line to the caliper you can use the M35/45 line kit minus the extra flex line to the caliper. The 2 cars (M35/45 and 370Z) share the same hub. I just learned this when I installed the 370Z sport calipers and rotors on my 06 M45 as a direct bolt on. No brackets were necessary and the line routing is darn near identical. I think I've even seen some retailers selling the M35/45 kit for the 370Z already.

Can you confirm that the M35/45 SS lines will work on the 370Z sport?

Well the 370z ss lines from concept z worked on my M45 - can't see why they wouldn't go the other way

The CZP lines are very different from the Goodrich ones design-wise though. The Goodrich ones emulate the stock layout and use the stock brackets.
