Best place to get rotors, lines, etc.

Apparently 88rotors seems to be pretty popular source for rotors with the AE86 community. Has anyone had experience with them? We are looking to add stainless steel lines to improve pedal pressure as well.

88 rotors = no good. customer service sucks.

also, if you decide to get stainless lines, do it correctly from the beginning and get goodridge lines. the first set i bought from 88 rotors started leaking after a month or so

I have heard similar experiences from people and 88Rotors. That is unfortunate. Customer service is a big thing for me. I prefer to do business with companies who support the sport/hobby and the people who enjoy it. It's all about relationships with me. Are there any alternatives?

I have been a big advocate for both Goodridge and Technafit lines over the years. I used Technafit on most of my Nissan cars and never had an issue with them. Where is the best place to get either? I really don't know who are the companies that best serve the AE86 community...particularly here in Texas.

I will be doing a complete flush of the old brake fluid and replacing it with something along the lines of ATE Super Blue. I have always had good luck with that as it has considerably less moisture absorption as opposed to Motul.

Obviously, being able to stop the car is the greatest concern for me, as my 14-year old will be the driver.

No experience with 88rotors personally. I say go with what you know until you know something else.

Goodridge has a long standing name and reputation. Technafit is on my list of "Buy Their Product(s)".
