First thing... I'd recommend anyone with stock lines to get them changed.
There is a recall on the standard CTS but it excludes the V. I've been on the phone directly with Cadillac and they are of no help. So since I took mine off... what do you know... corroded just like the lines on the standard CTS.
Really frustrates me and I'd appreciate some assistance from GM on this. "Katie" can you help here ?
Replacement stock lines are $39.54 EACH, plus the recall shows for 1.2 hours of labor.
I'd appreciate some compensation for the replacements I purchased.
"They told me to call back if I experienced any problems with my brake lines" Ya, ok... will do right after I rear end someone...

Car was three years old when I got it, and I have only driven it in the summer since I've owned it.
Anyways...
Installing the Goodridge. All the connectors attaching the stainless lines to the hard-lines on the car used a 18mm wrench; except for the passenger rear that goes from the caliper to the hard-line. It required a 19mm wrench. I've got all the lines on now except for this one. I tried twice and so did my brother, it looks like it is the correct connection, but it is very difficult to get started, and once you do it'll only go maybe one turn then it stops. I have since reinstalled the stock line with no problem.
Do you guys think they put the wrong connector on this one line, or do all kits come with this one being 19mm ?
