Brake lines - Galfer or Goodridge?

I'm about to order stainless braided lines for the front brakes, just curious if anyone has a recommendation between these 2 brands (or any other brand for that matter). Chaparral sells both kits for $79. Has anyone seen them cheaper elsewhere?

Thanks.

honestly... whichever is cheaper. There isn't going to be much difference if any noticeable difference between the two. If anything I'll get goodridge just cause my clutch line is from them. keep things consistent

I remember searching and seeing some fitment issues with one of the brands... I am not positive which one (maybe someone can chime in) but I would go for the more direct fit.

No problems with fitment with my Galfers and they're pretty, with red sleeves.

I'll tell you what, as hot as it's been this summer a couple times with hard braking I've had my brake lever hit the grip. Put on the Galfers a couple weeks ago and now I actually have brake feel. It's amazing!
All I can say is that either of them is such a vast improvement that you will be kicking up your heels (maybe literally).

The down side is now the back brakes feel squishy by comparison, so I have to replace that one too!!
