brakes and coilovers

Who makes stainless steel brake lines for the P10? Does anybody besides Ground Control have a good set of coilovers for the P10? TIA

You can get Goodridge or SMC SS lines. I highly recommend SMC over Goodridge. SMC assembles their lines using compression fittings instead of crimps. They are much heavier duty lines.

Besides, Steve is a G20 owner and a hell of a nice guy. Tell him I sent you. He'll take care of you.

SMC makes very nice products. But their customer service and follow through sucks. Steve is a bit flakey and you can't trust anything he tells you over the phone. Everyone in the aftermarket industry knows SMC reputation in NOT delivering their products on time (or telling the truth about shipments). I have had nothing but poor experiences with them, but then again their products are the best. If you are willing to wait, and wait, and wait some more then go ahead and buy SMC products. Steve will tell you over the phone that he has sent your item out, but can never produce a tracking number, and you will never recieve it. Only order SMC products which a store (distributor) has in stock. These are the experiences I have had with SMC, does anyone have positive experiences in dealing with Steve and his company?

I know Steve personally, so I can't say anything about personal experiences, but the folks on the SE-R Mailing List love SMC. Yours is the first complaint I've ever heard about Steve and SMC. Steve is a great guy, a G20 owner, and very VERY supportive of the SR20 community.

I'm not saying you didn't have a crappy experience. I don't know why you did. But I've never heard a compliant before. In fact, if anything, I've heard nothing but kudos as Steve has always gone out of his way to help from everything I've read.

I believe this is SMC phone number: (949) 369-5223

Good luck trying to get in contact with someone at SMC.
