Brake Lines
Braided Brake Lines
Braided brake lines are one of the cheapest ways to sharpen pedal feel. Factory rubber hoses swell under pressure, and that flex turns into a soft pedal once heat and repeated hard stops come into play. Stainless braided lines hold their shape, so the pedal stays firm and consistent. We stock kits for daily-driven street cars through to weekend track cars running The Bend and Wakefield Park.
Shop by Vehicle
Braided lines are a common upgrade on Subaru WRX and STI, Toyota 86 and GR86 / BRZ, Nissan Silvia and Skyline, Mazda MX-5, Honda Civic Type R, and VW and Audi platforms. Fitment is chassis, year and caliper specific, and some AU-delivered models differ from JDM equivalents. Check the listed application before ordering, or ask us to confirm.
Shop by Product Type
The range covers complete four-line front and rear kits, front-only or rear-only sets, and individual replacement lines. Most are supplied with PTFE inner hose, stainless outer braid and a protective outer sleeve. Some kits include new copper crush washers; others reuse factory banjo bolts.
Why braided brake lines
They suit anyone loading the brakes hard: track days, hill runs, towing, or a heavy car on a long descent. The gain is in pedal feel and consistency rather than outright stopping power, which is why lines pair well with a pad and fluid upgrade instead of replacing one. Older cars benefit twice over, since rubber hoses perish internally and can hold pressure in a caliper long after you lift off the pedal.
Fitment & Installation
Most kits bolt straight into the factory banjo fittings with no drilling. Installers should use fresh crush washers, torque banjo bolts to spec, and check the line has clearance through full steering lock and suspension travel, especially on lowered cars or wide wheel setups. A full bleed is required afterwards, and a fluid flush at the same time makes sense. If the car runs a big brake kit, match the line length and fitting type to the caliper, not just the chassis.

FAQ
Do braided lines fit my exact model and year? Fitment varies by chassis, trim and caliper, so check the listed application on each product. Send us your build details if you want it confirmed first.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after fitting? Yes. The system is opened during the job, so a full bleed is required. Most owners flush in fresh fluid at the same time.
Will braided lines pass a roadworthy inspection? Quality road-rated braided lines are a widely accepted upgrade, though requirements vary by state. Check your local rules if you are unsure.
Do they work with a big brake kit? Often, but line length and fitting type must match the caliper. Many BBKs ship with their own lines.
Do you ship Australia wide? Yes, we ship to all states and territories, including regional addresses.
