Goodridge or HEL?

[Dino]

Have used both makes with no issues.

I have recently bought these. I wouldn't mind using either brand it is just that Goodridge was cheaper here in Spain.

Both are equally as good as one another quality wise. I've just replaced the Goodridge ones on my 5th gen, but only because one was missing (As in the 4th one was an OEM hose). I replaced them with Hel lines as I had a set kicking about. My only issue with the Hel ones is the rears are twice as long as they need to be, so you need to make sure they coil the right way and zip-tie them off so they don't rub.

Fronts no problem...



Rears, too long. You can't see it in the pic, but the hose goes right between the shock and the ARB and is very close to rubbing on either. I need to get back under there this weekend to make sure nothing has slipped and is rubbing...

Funny, just before you posted that Nafe, I was thinking... didn't someone post up recently with the hoses on one the makes being too long?

@NafemanNathan you are a star, this is exactly the type of thing I've been wanting to know. Unless someone is gonna convince me otherwise, I think Goodridge is the way to go if they're the same quality but are a better fit.

Yep, the Goodridge rear I did have was the perfect length.

I'm using cobra, which I believe are made by HEL, perfect fit all round, great quality.

That's odd Nafe - I never had any issues with the HEL set I had, lengths all seemed fine.

Hmmm, maybe HEL accidentally supplied Nafe with 2 sets of fronts?
