More brake pressure with an improved brake line!

Braking from the car wants to modify, usually builds more powerful brakes and if possible a larger one Brake booster on. Depending on the car model and tuning variant, it may also be necessary to install an additional vacuum pump for the brake booster. But these are not all changes that can be possible or necessary when tuning the brake system. It may also be necessary to tune the brake lines of a vehicle. However, there are a few factors to consider when buying new brake lines. The tuning on a brake line is discussed in more detail below.

Tuning on the brake line - why?

If you want to tune the brakes on a vehicle, you usually install better and larger discs and calipers. The tuning usually starts with the performance of the vehicle. But more HP or KW and torque often mean that more powerful brakes are necessary. But during the conversion the tuning enthusiast will find that the old brake lines either no longer fit or cannot build up enough brake pressure. Sometimes the standard brake lines are not long enough or they have other connections that no longer fit the new brakes. Furthermore, the tuning of the brake line can also be necessary for performance reasons. But there are accessories for such cases. New brake lines can be bought as an "upgrade" and accordingly be robust and durable and made suitable for every vehicle.

What are the advantages of new brake lines?

New brake lines can be purchased from robust materials. For example, steel braided lines or Kevlar high-pressure lines can be considered as a brake line variant. It is important to carefully research the properties of the products before buying. Variants made of Kevlar can be firmer and lighter than brake lines made of a different material. Steel braided cables are used, for example, in bikes, where they ensure power transmission without losses. But they are also available for the car. The lossless transmission of power comes from the rigidity of the cables. They do not expand when the brake pedal is pressed. However, it is advisable to visit an experienced tuning workshop to replace the brake lines in order to obtain safe and qualitative work. And of course you should also go to a suitable one High performance brake fluid think so that the system works optimally.

Pay attention to suitable cables for the conversion

If you want to have the vehicle's brake lines modified, you must of course pay attention to suitable lines. It is not advisable to just look at the price. The price-performance ratio should be right. The most common brake lines for a change are commercially available for most vehicles, including older car models. Depending on the dealer, you can even save on the purchase of further tuning items. When purchasing brake lines, care should be taken to ensure that the pressure point can be checked properly and that a short braking distance is maintained. Pay attention to the best materials such as stainless steel fittings and stainless steel jacketed hoses with a Teflon® inner core. Such steel braided brake lines are almost indestructible and bring optimum performance to the vehicle. The performance brake lines do not age or swell compared to conventional rubber hoses. The change interval of four years required by the manufacturer can thus be omitted. On TUEV or one General operating license ABE should be included. Variants are also on sale Marderschutz and color versions available. The conversion of brake lines and brakes in general must be carried out safely. It is therefore advisable that professionals carry out the conversion of the brake system.

And finally ... A powerful brake system with steel braided brake lines from racing makes a major contribution to safe journeys. Thanks to the robust steel sheathing, the line does not expand or expand, creating a precisely defined braking point.
