WoOt!
I use Sumitomo pads, basically same as stock because I still run stock rotors. I plan to get some Brembo drilled rotors soon and will change over to Hawk pads at that point.

So I received the Goodridge brake lines from Tirerack.com and went to my shop to install it today. The brake lines came in a box that was denoted (93-98 Supra SE) My guys were too backed up and couldnt fit me in, so I went to another mechanic that I sorta knew, although this shop is more collision and repair.

When I arrive to pick up the car, he said that he was unable to install the brake lines because they "didnt fit". He said that the lines were for the Supra and not for the Lexus SC300. Correct me if I am wrong, but arent the Supra NA brakes Identical to the SC300 brakes and the repective parts are interchangeable? Please advise. Thanks.

Kilo....The Supra lines should fit fine. Many people have difficulty with the flared end of the brake line not fitting. This is easily cured with a simple hand file. You should be able to do this yourself.

Hey Guys,

I am planning on changing my SC400 brake lines to SS brake lines. Does the SC300 lines same for SC400?

thanks,

Just ordered EBC Green Stuff brake pads, and planning on buying Brembo S/D rotors (either later today or tomorrow). Just curious if anyone has this set up, and if I could get some feedback. Oh, also planning on ordering SS brake line (prob. Goodrich) this week too. TIA

Stick with the plain rotors, the slotted and drilled rotors have been known to crack under heavy use.
