Choosing the Right Part
HEL brake line kits are chassis-specific, so match the kit to your exact code and build year: for example E46, E92, F80, F82, F87 and F20 for BMW; EK9, DC2, DC5, FK8 and FL5 for Honda; 8J, 8S, 8V, 8V.5 and 8Y for Audi; PD for the Hyundai i30 N; ND for the Mazda MX-5; and A90 for the Toyota GR Supra.
Brake package matters as well. Some kits are specified for Brembo-equipped cars, such as the Ford Focus RS Mk3 2016-2018 (Brembo) and BMW F20 M135i/M140i (Brembo) kits, and line counts vary. The Audi TTS 8S kit, for instance, is a four-line kit. Check whether your car has factory electronic handbrake hardware or non-standard calipers, as this can change the fittings required.
Oil cooler kits are matched to engine family as well as chassis, such as the EA888.3 engine in the Golf R Mk7/Mk7.5. If your vehicle is not listed, ask us about the Custom Braided Brake Lines kit.
HEL uses 100% stainless steel for both the braid and the fittings, rather than zinc-plated carbon steel.
Installation & What You'll Need
Braided brake lines are safety-critical components. Installation by a professional is recommended.
A typical fitment involves raising and supporting the vehicle, removing road wheels, releasing the factory rubber hoses at the caliper and hard-line unions, fitting the new lines with fresh copper washers where supplied, then a full brake fluid bleed and leak check before the car is driven. Common requirements include spanners for brake unions, a torque wrench, new brake fluid, a bleeding kit and replacement retaining clips if the originals are damaged.
Oil cooler kits generally require mounting hardware, a thermostatic sandwich plate at the filter housing, hose routing clear of moving and hot components, and an oil and filter service on completion. Always follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
FAQ
Where can I buy HEL brake lines in Australia?
Chicane Australia sells HEL Performance braided brake line kits and the Golf R oil cooler kit and ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Search by your chassis code or HEL part number, or contact our team if your car isn't listed and you need a custom brake line kit.
What is the benefit of stainless steel fittings?
Many brands use zinc-plated carbon steel fittings that can corrode over time. HEL uses stainless steel for both the braid and the fittings, so the lines resist corrosion in service.
Is there a HEL kit if my car isn't listed?
Yes. The HEL Performance Custom Braided Brake Lines kit is a universal option. Contact our team with your car and caliper details before ordering.
Do HEL brake lines come with a warranty?
HEL Performance offers a lifetime warranty on its braided brake lines against manufacturing defects. It applies in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
