STi SS Line vs. everyone else......
Can anyone tell me why the factory braided, STI SS brake lines are $350 while Goodridge, and everyone else for that matter, are around the $150 range (for a set of four)? Is there a major difference in construction between the factory lines and the aftermarket ones??

Because "STi" is painstakingly applied to each line.
That type of artistic expression costs money.

STi parts tend to be priced more that other aftermarket parts in general.

STI ones and the more R&D'd lines have a plastic coating around the SS. They are probably made with a better quality material and use more braids. Also you're paying for the name really.
