This complete four-line kit uses a PTFE core inside a 304 stainless steel braid for a firmer pedal and more consistent braking under repeated hard use. As temperatures rise, factory rubber hoses expand and the pedal goes spongy. Braided lines hold their shape, so pedal feel stays the same from the first stop to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; color: #111; margin: 0 0 14px; padding-bottom: 8px;

Rubber hoses expand slightly every time you press the pedal, and more as they heat up — which shows up as a pedal that sinks further the harder you use the brakes. A PTFE liner inside a stainless braid barely moves, so the pedal stays where you expect it. Most noticeable on repeated hard stops, downhill runs, or track sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 700; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eDo I need to bleed the brakes afterward?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; color: #444;\"\u003eYes. Any time a brake line comes off, air enters the system and the brakes must be bled before the car is driven.
