I've been looking all over for some stainless steel brake lines for my 92 sport sedan, and i can't seem to find any. does anyone know where i can find some, or if i can use brake lines from another subaru.

VRG3 is using some from a 95-97 GC, and I am using some from an 02-05 WRX.

Yeah, any impreza lines should work. On the WRX ones, they have a different mount, so you just have to ziptie the line somewhere, or you could just modify your strut to hold the line.

Or you could be like me and find a phenomenal deal on some Legacy specific SS brake lines, only to replace your suspension with SPT stuff that accepts the WRX style anyways...

Are they worth it tho?

Absolutely. I noticed a difference.

Good fluid, good pads, and SS lines make a HELL of a difference in braking!

if you dont get Stainless lines you should at the very least get some good high temp fluid.

that will make the biggest difference in pedal feel.

i use wilwoods high temp fluid.

I use ATE Superblue/Supergold.

Simply because it's the easiest fluid to change.

is that the stuff that comes in two colors? as the name implies.

Yea, you can get blue and gold.

Use the blue one time, gold the next. When the fluid turns gold, it's all purged from the system. When you change again, when the fluid turns blue, all purged.

Good stuff.

Plus, it really IS one of the absolute best fluids you can use for street use.

I want to run Castrol SBF, but I don't want to pay 60 bucks for one can of it, lol. That stuff is brutal, you couldn't boil it if you TRIED!

Does the BRAND or construction of the ss lines make a difference?

Not usually.

It's pretty hard to mess up an SS line. Most places get the parts from the same company anyhow.

Goodridge and Stoptech lines are pretty nice IMO. Anything with a clear coating on them is good.

Thx for that info.

I believe StopTech advertises a clear coat over the braided ss but Goodridge doesn't. Does the Goodridge lines also have a clear sheath or coating over it?

Yea, Goodridge has the coating I think.

I'm using "Agency Power" lines up front. I DO think that the famous APRacing is known as Agency Power racing, but it's unconfirmed. The lines are actually fairly nice, and they have held up OK so far.

I would NOT recomend where I got them though, those people were HORRIBLE to deal with.

my goodridge lines don't have the coating. They may have just started doing that. I put mine on about 2 1/2 years ago.

Hate to break it to ya, Agency Power is not related to AP Racing. Close knock-off maybe, and probably why they chose "Agency Power" as their name. Everything made for AP Racing is done in englandia. Agency power, naaaaa, not so much.

That's what I originally thought. People kept mentioning it though! AP Racing doesn't even make brake lines that I can see, but nooo, they were convinced to the point that I started believing them. Oh well.

They are decent quality, which is surprising.
