3.3TT steel braided brake lines.

[Hawk853]

I successfully ordered lines through Hosetechnik. It took a while; my PayPal payment wouldn’t go through because of US address, so I sent in an email requesting instructions that got no response.

Then I received an automated email from Hosetechnik asking why I didn’t purchase what was in my cart. A few days later I clicked the link, filled out the form and a sales member contacted me almost immediately with instructions. £18.00 to ship to the US. Not bad.

I ordered Stoptech lines from Khartunerz back in March, got them but never got around to installing them.

Hosetechnik lines came in last week. Shockingly fast shipping from the UK via DHL. Very happy with the product at face value. The stainless laser cut brackets are super slick.
Hoping to get them on while doing my springs this Friday

I just had new EBC , brake pads installed on the front and new braided brake lines on front and back brakes, my rotors are still In good shape , still braking In the pads only got 100 miles on them and keeping light brake applications for now , then seating them later

Years ago I put steel braided brake lines on my mildly model PT Cruiser Turbo. I thought they were great. In reality pretty sure the rubber lines were just as good as I never got brake fluid close to boiling or never damaged the lines. On street cars the rate of failure for rubber lines is very minimal and probably less than steel ones. Besides racing what is the actual benefits of
the steel lines?

It's not about durability, it's about faster brake response. the braided lines do not expand as much as the rubber lines with pressure applied, thus transferring all that pressure to the caliper faster. They give more initial bite when you press the pedal quickly.

Just got braided lines on my Stinger GT and they do bite some much faster indeed

I had a shop here in my city order them and I believe that they ordered them through a company called Kartuners , 99.00 Canadian for each set front and back!

Those lines are very pricey at 124 British Pounds, which is $174. Is there anything cheaper, and reputable, here in the US?

They’ve increased the prices significantly! I wouldn’t have paid that much.

Who’s running SS Braided Lines & are you happy with the upgrade or are they no different to the stock rubber ones for day to day use.

Day to day, save your money. Had a brake expert explain they are really only necessary for track use, and even then only help you modulate slightly better during threshold braking events. They recommended sticking with my stock lines and just upgrading pads and fluid, which is what I did. The pads I got for the track are GLoc R10, not for daily drive, only for track as they will beat on the rotors pretty hard. Side note, he also said drilled rotors are for show as well. slotted is ok, but vented disc "blanks" are just fine for heavy track use and cheaper to replace. I also got that advice from my track instructor.

Thanks for that, you have confirmed what I was thinking ie: pads & fluid.
Yes definitely not drilled rotors, I’m on slotted rotors with performance pads so I’ll save my money.
