Pedal Pads: Rubber and billet aluminium brake pedal pads for improved grip
Clevis Pins & Hardware: Mounting hardware for pedal connections

Why Upgrade Brake Components?

Factory rubber brake lines expand under pressure, creating spongy pedal feel and inconsistent braking. Braided stainless steel brake lines eliminate expansion for firm, consistent pedal feel and improved brake modulation. AN fittings provide leak-free connections that won't fail under high brake pressure. Proper hardline clamps prevent brake line vibration and chafing that causes leaks and failures. Upgrading brake components improves safety, performance, and reliability in street and race applications.

Brake Line Selection Guide

Brake Line Size: -3AN (3/16" ID) is standard for most automotive brake applications. Provides adequate flow for single and dual-piston calipers. -4AN used for large multi-piston calipers or long brake line runs. Never use smaller than -3AN for brake lines.

PTFE vs Rubber Inner Line: PTFE (Teflon) lined brake hose is mandatory for performance applications. PTFE doesn't expand under pressure and resists brake fluid degradation. Standard rubber inner hose expands and deteriorates—not suitable for performance braking.

DOT Compliance: Street-driven vehicles require DOT-approved brake lines meeting FMVSS 106 standards. Race-only vehicles can use non-DOT lines. Check local regulations for compliance requirements.

Installation & Safety Tips

Brake Line Routing: Route brake lines away from exhaust heat, sharp edges, and moving components. Use proper clamps every 300-400mm to prevent vibration and chafing. Ensure adequate slack for suspension travel—lines must not pull tight at full droop or compression.

Fitting Installation: Use proper AN wrenches to avoid damaging fittings. Torque fittings to specification—over-tightening damages threads and seals. Apply brake fluid to threads before assembly for proper torque reading and corrosion prevention.

Bleeding Procedure: Always bleed brake system after installing new lines. Start with wheel furthest from master cylinder and work toward closest. Use fresh DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 fluid (never mix DOT 5 silicone fluid with glycol-based fluids). Bleed until no air bubbles appear.

Pressure Testing: Pressure test brake system to 1000 PSI before driving. Check all fittings and connections for leaks. Pump brake pedal firmly 20-30 times and verify firm pedal feel. Never drive vehicle with soft or spongy brake pedal.
