Steel Braided Brake Lines: Performance You Can Trust
Upgrade your braking performance. Whether you're daily driving or pushing hard on back roads or track days, consistent pedal feel is critical. OEM rubber hoses expand under heat and pressure, causing a soft or inconsistent pedal. Our stainless steel braided lines eliminate this problem and deliver sharper, more predictable braking.
Why Choose Braided Brake Lines?
- Removes "sponggy" pedal feel caused by rubber line expansion
- Improves braking precision and consistency
- Reduces stopping distance under demanding conditions
- Superior materials ensure long-term durability
Built for Performance
Each kit includes:
- Stainless steel fittings: Corrosion-resistant and built to last
- PTFE-lined inner hoses: Withstand extreme temperatures and high pressures
- Lifetime warranty: Confidence in long-term reliability

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these improve pedal feel?
Yes — they significantly reduce expansion under pressure, resulting in a firmer, more consistent pedal.
Are these DOT compliant?
Yes — they meet or exceed typical DOT performance standards.
Do they fit AMG models?
No — this kit fits W203 non-AMG models only (C230 Kompressor, C230, C240, C280, C320). AMG models such as the C32 AMG and C55 AMG use different line lengths and fittings.
What brake fluid should I use?
DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 fluid is recommended. DOT 4 LV provides the best cold/hot performance.
