Brake Hose

In a brake system, it's important to use hard lines as much as possible. This is because the hydraulic pressure required to compress the brake fluid and properly engage the brake calipers and wheel cylinders needs to be contained within plumbing that doesn't expand for the best performance. However, when flexibility is required due to changes in suspension and steering, brake hoses are needed to allow wheels to turn and compression and extension of components. A stainless steel braided brake hose helps reduce the expansion of the rubber under high pressure, producing firmer and more responsive braking, while allowing flex.

When shopping for a brake hose replacement, it's important to confirm the year, make and model of the vehicle to ensure proper fitment. When building a custom brake setup, careful measuring is required to use the shortest brake hose possible, without causing strain to it from changes in steering and suspension travel.
