Default stainless brake lines - recommendations?

pricing seems similar across several vendors, about $110-$120. Thanks!

Default Just got the Stoptechs on my 225....they work and fit great and have the vinyl cover -->

on the braided stainless to protect stuff around the lines from damage....The Goodrich are really good too from what I hear, but they were backordered everwhere when I was looking for them....

Default

What are the disadvantages with the banjo design? and what does Goodrich use instead?

Default it's a two piece design using a banjo bolt

in lieu of single piece threaded 90* brake line connector which uses a single copper washer instead of two. Both designs index nicely so it is just preference.

Default they have a new brakeline factory in Mexico, so it may no longer be true..

unless the stainless stuff stayed in the US.
