I just ordered the Technafit this morning so I hope they are good! The Goodridge are $40 more.

Technafits here for about 3k miles so far. Fit great, never had a problem, and a good price.

Technafits worked great for me on my last car. Probably going to get the WORKS set for this one if I decide to spend the extra cash.

Have had the Goodridge lines for around 12K miles now. Not been on the track yet but highly doubt there'll be any surprises with them.

I have had the RacingBrake SS lines on for 3 years, no problems at all.

I have the stoptechs, they're fitment and finish are very good, easy install and look good! I used motul rbf 650 brake fluid. The lines are awesome, really keep you in touch w/ the brakes and is much more satisfying heel toeing. I've been to the track twice with them and they are tremendous w/ hawk hp plus pads.

Earl's makes a highly reliable and affordable set - they are used on the T1 Corvettes, are higher quality than Goodridge (certain racers I know avoid Goodridge lines) and I believe cheaper. Being new to the Evo crew though, I am not sure if they make a fitment for our cars...
