Steel braided brake lines

Post by 03silversxt » Thu Aug 24, 2006 2:00 pm

Does anyone know if steel braided lines are available for the sxt? If they are, anyone know where to get them? Any help is appreciated!

Still haven't seen any from Goodrich yet. I'd love a set when they come out.

I think i saw somewhere that you have to call them direct to get them (they are not listed in any cataloge).


...or, there is a very good possibility i am going crazy and halusinating things again...

what about cross-drilled steel brake lines for added cooling and performance?

What advantage do steel braided break lines offer over stock ones? :oops:

The brake lines have tremendous pressure in them when you apply brake pressure. The stock lines are rubber and expand as you apply brake pressure. this causes "sloppy" brakes. The braided stainless lines do not expand as much as the rubber ones, therefore creating a firmer brake pedel. it allows more presure from the fluid to be transfered to braking power and not to expanding the brake lines

Notice they still don't have them listed for the 2gn? I know it was a while ago (maybe I should try again) but the last time I sent Chris an e-mail they weren't out yet.
