SS Brake line options
Which SS braided lines do you guys reccomend?
Comptech - $139.00
Neuspeed - $190.00
Goodridge - $120.00
Russell - $95.00
Earls - $125.00
All of these are supposed dirrect fit replacments, is there any real difference in quality b/t the cheaper brands and the more expensive? It seems that the goodridge is the more popular option, but i wanted your opinions. I'm only intending on street driving and maybe the occasional day at the track.

They are all good, reputable brands. I like the Goodridge, but the Russell and Earls are also good. They have been a mainstay on the domestic market for a long time and they make excellent products. (This, coming from a former '69 Camaro owner) 
Neuspeed, IMO, is just overpriced.
Check out www.groubuycenter.com Some of those were at a good price in there, I think about $100 or so.

I have the Russell lines in my car. What a differnce steel braided lines make!!! I have had them for a while now. I work for the Edelbrock Corporation (which owns Russell) so I got them for FREE when they were developing lines for Integra's. 
But if I had to buy them... I would buy them any time. Also do your self a favor and buy speed bleeders when you put your lines in. It makes it WAY easier and you don't have to bug your buddy to come over and pump your brakes all day.

I have Goodridge...but only because they came with the brake package I got.
I probably would've gotten Comptech otherwise...but just 'cause they're Comptech. I'm sure they're all just as good.
