So you can experience a higher rate of failure than you would experience by simply replacing the stock lines with correct new rubber ones?

Nothing I love more than people who talk right out their ass.

UPGRADING to steel brake lines has many benefits, such as improved reliability, high abrasion resistance, and little-to-no line expansion during braking; hence less lost pressure going into malleable rubber lines, and instead full pressure making it to the calipers.

Thanks for coming out.

Just to shut some of you up I went up to that intersection today to check it out for myself. With cars driving by at 60kph I was able to see them for a total of 9 seconds on average before they were in the middle of the intersection. Going twice this speed, the skyline would have been visible for approx. 4.5- 5 seconds, enough time for a bus shelter to avoid a reckless driver.

Bus shelters ftl.

I even videotaped it, give me a sec to get it up here.

Going from a full hardline from the front back to a soft line, the soft line allows for expansion and thusly loss of pressure before the caliper, it may be slight, but its still there. The stainless line, acting like a hard line, allows for NO expansion, so it increases the pressure. You are 100% correct, i have felt before and after with stainless lines on my s13, and i noticed it bigtime, much better pedal feel.


but i reckon you already knew that :D

It seems to me that you are the type of person to blame for politics never working like they are supposed to. You spend your time spewing shit out of your mouth with absolutely no credentials or evidence to have reason to do so, while other faint and succeptable minds absorb your crap with the assumption that it has some basis behind it - and the idiot cycle continues.. Thanks for wasting our time by making it necessary to clear the air of mis-information.

Ps: You are talking to a guy (and perhaps many others) with a LOT of brake experience.

What are the benefits of braided/stainless steel brake lines?

1.

Higher pressure rating, typically 3000psi operating - 12000psi burst. i.e. this may be very important at solving the problem of the stock rubber brake line failures.
2.

Stainless-steel armor-like outer braid.Teflon®-lined fluid transport inner tube, resistant to brake fluid, and high temperatures. Will not crack like rubber hose lines.
3.

Better "brake feel" because there is significantly less hose expansion compared to rubber hose lines, there is more of a direct correlation to pedal pressure to braking pressure hence better "feel".



that was from http://www.bonacoinc.com/

heres a review from ANOTHER person who im sure knows more than you do.

Doesn't really apply to you guys but when we lift Jeeps we usually upgrade to SS brake lines for the added strength. If a rock or something squeezes a brake line I'd rather not have it burst from a sharp edge. Also, if I max out the down travel on one side I'm not going to do the same thing via over-extension.

Oh much ado about stainless brake-lines. Why didn't Zero102 just say it instead of making two Google-challenged posters try to figure it out themselves?

Your standard issue SS brake-lines can be prone to rapid wear and failure on road cars. Generally, this is due to the fact that a stainless steel brake line is essentially a teflon tube, covered in a stainless sheath. For a normal daily driver, road debris can get between the steel and the teflon tube and the moving of the dirt with the steel braid errodes the tube, which will eventually cause a hole - and complete, catastrophic loss of brake fluid pressure.

As a result of this, the majority of stainless lines are not D.O.T. approved for road use.

That said, there are some lines available that have the teflon tube wrapped in the stainless steel braid, which is then covered in a vinyl covering (think shrink wrap) to protect the line from road debris. These lines are D.O.T. approved and will not have the failures associated with your run-of-the-mill SS brake lines. ...Uuuuunfortunately, these lines can cost twice as much (or more) than typical SS brake lines, due to the added materials, manufacturing, and the cost of having to gaining D.O.T. approval.

lol, i'm not referring to china lines, or ebay brake bargains - I'm talking about quality brake components. While I totally understand what you have just said, that is just as common for reinforced brake lines from the past that had coil wrapping around the existing line - dirt and moisture get in and the rust pours out.

TorqueDog
09-04-2009, 06:29 PM
Those aren't just 'eBay specials' - brake lines specifically for off-road use don't have to be D.O.T. approved and as such don't often utilize that protective covering.

Torquedog is right, it happened to ChrisNg when we went to Cardston to testdrive a VW that was posted on Beyond for sale. The owner and I watch Chris make some weird driving decisions around the parking lot. Turns out on his first push of the pedal, the car had no brakes,rear brake stainless line under the car rubbed through from gravel exposure..

^^^ true. I agree. While jdm cars are cheap and therefore allow retarded/less experienced drivers to obtain fast cars, there are plenty of fast cars in the us market as well. As slow as iroc-z are for example people manage to crash them quite proficiently. It's ignorant to blame a car, rhd or lhd. It's ALWAYS the driver.

Some of you guys are still young so you don't remember the days before the JDM RHD's. Back in the day we were still crashing into bus stops, banks, cars, houses etc etc etc. except the cars we were crashing were preludes, civics, delsols, camaros, mustangs. The car is only a small factor in these accidents, it's the person behind the wheel causing these crashes and it just so happens that you see lots of RHD's get crashed because they're "cool" cars that young inexperienced drivers can afford.
