Eliminate the "spongy" feeling in your brake pedal and improve your vehicle's stopping response with our range of stainless steel braided brake lines. At Chicane Australia, we exclusively supply HEL Performance braided hose kits—the industry standard for high-performance hydraulic lines. These kits are designed to replace factory rubber hoses, offering a firmer pedal feel and more precise modulation under heavy braking loads.

Standard factory brake lines are typically made of rubber, which can expand under the high hydraulic pressures generated during spirited or track driving. This expansion results in a "soft" pedal feel and inconsistent braking performance. HEL Performance Brake Lines feature a Teflon (PTFE) inner liner protected by a stainless steel outer braid and a protective PVC cover, which virtually eliminates line expansion.
All HEL kits supplied by Chicane Australia are ADR Approved (Australian Design Rules) and feature 100% stainless steel fittings—not zinc-plated steel—ensuring maximum corrosion resistance and longevity. We stock kits for a wide range of Japanese, European, and domestic performance vehicles, providing a vital safety and performance upgrade for any street or track build.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide expert technical advice on line routing and fitment. Combined with our high-temp Brake Fluid, HEL braided lines are one of the most cost-effective ways to transform your car's braking confidence.
Brake Line FAQs
Why choose HEL Performance over other brands?
HEL Performance is a global leader in braking technology. Unlike some competitors, HEL uses 100% stainless steel for all fittings, which means they will never rust or corrode. They are fully ADR Approved and assembled with precision for a perfect bolt-on fit.
Are braided brake lines legal for street use in Australia?
Yes, provided they are ADR Approved. The HEL Performance kits we stock meet all Australian Design Rules (ADR 42/04) for safety and legality on public roads, featuring the required swaged fittings and protective sleeves.
Do I need special tools to install braided lines?
While they are a direct replacement, we highly recommend using a proper "flare nut spanner" to avoid stripping the factory hard-line nuts. A full system bleed with fresh Brake Fluid is required after installation.
