I'll be replacing my SS brake lines soon and I'm looking for recommendations. One brand that I've come across is Techna-Fit. What's the consensus on these? Any issues?

I have a friend that runs a brake line company, He brought me some samples to show off and I was very impressed. I don't run them on my car (yet) but he says the miata lines are by far his

best selling lines. Might be worth checking out.  dimebrakelines.com

I've had great luck with the ones Mazdaspeed sells (Goodridge). They are selling them much cheaper than anyone else i've seen, so no reason to look at anything else.

Technafits suck.  The bend of the hardline end off the rear caliper is all wrong.  I re-installed my old rear lines after messing with the TFs for a few days.  Big skip.

I've had those on my car now for a few years, and yes the rear lines do not look comfortable with the routing they must take. I've been looking for some new lines to put in my track box, should I have a failure. This thread is timely for me and I would like to hear what folks are finding to be the best lines for our cars.

Why go anywhere else

 

When I was building my car in 2010, Mazda Motorsports had stopped carrying the Goodrich lines due to poor fitment and resulting leaking at the junction box in the rear.

That's what I ended up ordering.  I figure if Dave sells them, they must work well.

They "look" like Techna-fit, as do the Flyin-Miata lines (those are what I officially have). Perhaps, Dave can jump in here and let us know if his lines are sourced from Techna-fit or similar looking competitor. Flyin-Miata was rather vague when I asked them about this a few years back.

I buy mine directly from the hose manufacturer. Maybe Techna-fit and others use the same company, I do not know. I have never had a problem with my lines. I use them on all my cars.
