Russell SS Brake Lines
« on: June 20, 2011, 05:02:05 AM »
Hey everyone,

I was wondering whether anyone here has any experience or can advise me on whether this is a good brand for SS brake lines.  I've seen the StopTechs and Goodridge Lines but was'nt convinced on the reviews did'nt really like the products they had to offer.  Russell looks like they have higher quality parts, but can anyone confirm my thinking?

Part Number# 672450 Russell Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines   - They don't have the Avy specifically mentioned but this is seems to be the right choice.

The hoses are listed as follows on their website,

http://russellperformance.com/mc/brake_hoses/hoses_truck.shtml
00-06    Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon 1500 2WD/4WD     Disc    Disc    5    672450

Go for em?

Yup, those are what I used on my '04.  They fit well and I like them.  Also installed a set on my father's 1500HD and a friend installed a set on his 2500 Duramax.  Only good things to say about them. 

The hardest one to install on the AV was the one from the frame to the differential.  It's a bit awkward to reach the end above the shield/tray above the spare tire.  I was working with the AV on ramps and wound up sitting facing the differential and reaching up over my head and back to the fitting.  Like I said, awkward, but it went well. 
I'm right at least once a day.  Was this post it?  (That's for you to figure out.)

I'll call them to verify. I also want to replace the rest of my lines with SS tubing.
