Fellow gear heads-
Im upgrading my front end and my last component upgrade will be extended braided brake lines. My question to you all is this You can purchase these lines like the stock routing (single to tee block) or run dual lines from the master cylinder for about the same price! Wich would you who have these suggest.

the galfer's have two seperate lines. i think you are more likely to get equal braking preasure to each caliper with this setup. I could be wrong about that though. Either way, i just put mine on and all i can say is WOW!!!!!! There is so much more of a presise and solid feel to the lever and the braking is AWSOME!

I ran both set ups, and I now run the dual brakelines. It looks better, feels better, and works better.

I got mine for $75 from a company here in san diego that makes custom steel braided brake line, fuel lines, oil lines, and more.

Sounds like the doubles are the way to go ! Thanks for the input
Also as far as price goes I found a manufacturer online named goodridge that will sell you a set up for around $75.oo , but you will need to send them your measurements beforehand. They dont do many quads, But their products look sweet!

Hey Big D racing...

Did you get yours from Earl's on Miramar Road? That's where I got mine and they work great.

That's the place. I also got my rear from them for like $30 and some stainless steel oil lines for my four stroke tech oil cooler kit. They have great products at an even greater price.

i have fast line into a t and they have no problem at all... they work better then my friends russel loines... the russel don't seem to have as hard of a feel to them and they feel mushy...

i haven't tried double lines yet though...

Hoodeye, I just got a set from Goodridge a couple weeks ago. The fronts were $61 (part #71006) and are the wrapped with a red transparent protective coating. Its the single hose out to the proportioning block set-up. The rear was $36 (part #72006) and had the coating on it also. I haven't had a chance to install them yet, but they look like a nice product.
