Yeah they look NOTHING like what i recieved actually they look excactely like the Goodridge-ones corksport sells though...

But if we order them from corksport theres no plasticcoating on "And that looks really professional on the ones i got" Allso theres probertly no Tüv approval on them either if ordered from USA...

Im sending them back and hoping they discover they mixed something up! :rant2:

I have got mine. They look ok. I tried to change the left rear one, but the nut on the pipe is a PITA to remove. I ended up making the nut round :/ Now I don' know what to do to remove the line.
Please help! :)

I ran into the same issue changing out the front lines on our MX-3. Once the nut is stripped/rounded off, your only option is locking pliers (E.G. "Vise-Grip" pliers) to break them loose, then loosen the rest of the way by hand. As they say, "installation is the reverse of removal"...

I installed my Goodridge kit yesterday.

No fitment issues at all :D

Cant wait to do the clutch-line aswell.

Anyone got a good tip on performance rotors and pads? I`m gonna use my Mx3 on the track next season, so I want decent brakes.

I have been pretty happy with my Brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors from sportsbrake.
I use Hawk street+autocross compound but ferodo or EBC are probably also make good pads for street and track.
