300ZX Brake Line

Hi, I'm looking for some stainless steel brake lines for a 1987 Z31. I was looking on ebay and the cheapest I found was $175 plus shipping for a set of four. I was wondering where else I could look or where I could get some stainless steel brake lines from? Thanks Alot

MSA has the goodridge set for sale and I am using the goodridge SS brake lines right now and they are great. Of course these lines wont help you at all unless you have good brake pads.

Hi, could you give me the info for MSA please? I would like to contact him so I can get the set right away. I tried looking on Stillens website and I actually ordered a set from them, but it hasnt finalized yet because I dont have a shipping price, so if anything I can always cancel that order. Actually, I've seen on this board that stainless steel brake lines can be had for very cheap, and $109 isn't really enticing to me, though it is cheaper than $175. Oh, and I realized that yeah, I need 6 brake lines, thank you very much for that piece of info and they were advertising that on ebay. Anyway, I'll talk to you later. Thanks alot
Bye

MSA has a website.

This is the page for the brakelines.
They also have alot of other parts but some of the prices are alittle high but I have never had a probem with them.

Hi, Thank you very much for the link. I didnt realize it was a company selling the parts. I thought it was a member of this board. Anyway, it was great help, but I just decided to go with Stillen because it's $20 cheaper that way. The only problem is that they wont have stock for this car until the end of the month, but that's fine. I'll just wait for it. Thanks Alot
Bye

I have a part ordered from MSA that they had to buy from Stillen, and to keep me from buying from Stillen, they bettered the price Stillen quoted to me. That deal whittled away some mark-up. Cut-throat for them, great for me, the consumer.

Hi. Actually. I've been looking around at some, and found out that there is even cheaper. Russell Performance makes brake lines for the Z31 for $90+ dollars. I cant remember the exact price. I cant find how I found it either. But if you go onto russellperformance.com and go into their brake line section, and then go to "where to buy" then you can get the nearest russell dealer to your house. On a side note, one of the guys at Stillen told me that they're waiting on their shipment of brake lines from Goodridge, and that's why it's taking so long.

Hi everyone. I just got my brake lines. I haven't fully installed them yet, just one side, but I will let you guys know how it performs when they're on there. The brake lines are of extremely good quality. They're very well built. bye

I wish I knew that before. Then I would've gone with fast turbo. Anyway, it's done now. I have all the lines installed and it greatly improves the pedal feel and the stopping distance. It's amazing. I'm glad I got them. Thanks for all the info everyone.
