What brand is everyone using?
I noticed a few people on here using Goodridge
Are they ADR approved?
I noticed MX5 Centre sells an ADR Approved braided lines
Has anyone used them?

I got my braided lines from MX5Centre. I didn't get the ADR ones though. Very happy with them.

I have Goodridge SS lines on the rear, I dont think they are ADR approved they need a tag to be approved I think.
The Goodridge ones on the front were a bit too long and started to rub against the lower controll arm and fray kinda dangerous, you can cable tie it out of the way but thats added unsprung weight.
I got ADR aproved ones made up for the fronts to the correct length, for around $70 each.
I prefer the ones that were made up because it comes with the "locator pin" that goes into the caliper, so when you tighten the banjo bolt it stays in place and you can torque it down correctly without worrying about snapping the banjo bolt.

The shop I went to is in Melbourne so its not going to help you its called hoppers stoppers.
It doesnt matter if its a bit longer you just have to be more careful when you install them. After installing them turn the wheel full lock each way (also do it when the car is on its wheels suspension is compressed) look if it rubs on anything and cable tie it out of the way.
I didnt know you were that worried about unsprung weight?

Yes I have a set of ADR braided hoses from mx5 centre. They are a quality product and were the correct length. You will find any brake line that are ADR aproved, will be marked so [ usually a rubber boot down at the fitting, it will have ADR marked on it], and the will be good quality it they past ADR testing.
