nope nope nope nope. glad I stopped in here.
They dont fit. I thought I posted it in my thread, maybe I didnt. I will have to post comparison images.
They dont fit.

I ordered the Stop Tech lines for the GT instead.
And I used the rear lines in the Front and the fronts in the rear. (the rear lines are a hair longer and could use the extra length for full lock)

The Stoptechs take a few weeks to get to you (and are twice the price) but I trust the build quality over Techna-fit and those other brands.

Honestly the BEST way to get the best possible fit lines would be to get custom made lines, but The stoptechs fit wonderfully the way I installed them.

Im pretty sure only Techna-Fit and Stoptech make them for the 6th gen.
Goodridge just skipped out gen with their lines. I remember seeing Earls lines from gt4-racing for the ST202, they would probably fit, but I didnt want to take the risk of ordering overseas
