APR Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines - Audi A3 / Volkswagen Golf GTI - Front
APR's braided stainless steel brake lines replace the factory rubber hoses on your Audi A3 or Volkswagen Golf GTI with a direct fit upgrade that firms up pedal feel and cuts down on flex under hard braking. Each line uses a smooth bore PTFE core wrapped in 304 stainless steel braid, so fluid reaches the calipers faster with far less expansion than a stock hose.
This listing covers the front brake line upgrade for the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf GTI. Lines are application specific with correct length and fittings for each chassis, so there's no need for universal adapters or extra fittings.
Key Features
- 304 stainless steel braid with PTFE (Teflon) core for minimal expansion
- Smoked clear PVC outer jacket with red anodised inserts
