Goodridge 96-97 Volkswagen Passat w/ Rear Disc SS Brake Lines

If you're working on a 1996 or 1997 Volkswagen Passat, especially one with rear disc brakes, these stainless steel brake lines from Goodridge are a solid option to consider. They replace your stock rubber lines, which can degrade over time and lead to a spongy brake pedal feel. By upgrading to these braided stainless steel lines, you'll notice a more consistent and firm pedal response, even under heavy braking. This improved feel translates to better control and can even help reduce stopping distances.

The construction here is top-notch. Goodridge uses a PTFE inner hose wrapped in a stainless steel outer braid. This combination is really effective at preventing the hose from expanding under pressure, which is what causes that mushy pedal feel in older rubber lines. The stainless steel braiding also offers excellent resistance to abrasion and corrosion, meaning these lines will hold up well and look good in your engine bay for a long time. They meet all federal requirements and are D.O.T. compliant, so you can install them with confidence. Goodridge also puts these lines through a 9-point quality assurance test, so you know they're built right.

This kit includes everything you need for the front and rear brake lines, along with adapters, banjo bolts, washers, and line locators to make installation as straightforward as possible. Replacing your brake lines is a great way to restore crisp braking performance and improve the overall safety of your Passat.
