When getting their brake hoses changed, many people opt for rubber as a default option. Often, this is because they do not know that there is an alternative to rubber brake hoses for their particular vehicle.
However, there is a superb alternative for those who are keen to invest in something more sophisticated. BrakeQuip and our associated dealers offer stainless steel brake lines to fit almost any vehicle. Read on to find out why you might decide to make the switch.
Greater Durability
Stainless steel brake lines are believed to be more resistant to wear and tear than their rubber counterparts. Indeed, as they are made from an exceptionally durable metal, they will not bulge, tear or fall foul of the typical types of damage that often affect more traditional hoses.
Stainless steel is rust proof too, so their lifespan is considered to be much longer than that of a rubber hose.
Stainless steel lines are considered capable of lasting between 7 and 15 years – but this does not mean that they should not be checked regularly!
An Upgraded Look
If you take real pride in your vehicle’s appearance, it’s likely that you’ll want all of its components to complement one another and gel visually – wherever they may be located.
The stainless steel brake lines from BrakeQuip are available in a range of colours and styles to match or contrast with your paintwork, including silver, black, blue and red. This will help you to customise every detail for a look that is entirely your own.
Better Handling
Many drivers swear by stainless steel brake lines when it comes to the improved handling of a vehicle, saying that they offer an improved, firmer “pedal feel” and a greater sense of responsiveness.
For those who drive professionally – or as a hobby – rather than as a necessity, this can make all the difference to their vehicle’s performance and their sense of enjoyment of the ride.
