Stainless Steel braided brake hoses

[foresterx]

hi mga paps, besides the brake hoses, anong mai-recommend niyo na brand ng drilled/slotted brake rotors recommended para sa suv like Montero. preferably bigger than the oem. TIA

why waste money on something you don't need? pads, hose, brake fluid and better tires is all you'll need unless you track your car then that's the time you'll only need a drilled/slotted rotor. anyway if you still want one get a slotted rotor since a lot of drilled rotors tend to crack after some time.

What is the car ba? Formula 1, or some kind of exotic sports car that you race? Baka naman altis or civic lang yan e hindi na kelangan mga ganyan.

The brake hoses are too short, only less than 4 feet in total length, and with so small internal diameter that you would feel any difference. How sensitive is your feet ba that you can feel an additional 0.1 cubic centimeter of expansion? Pure BS! Waste of money lang yan.

brake hose is the last thing would think of when you want to improve braking.

Stainless steel brake lines are useless until you change everything else.

Or more specifically: I used to run slotted rotors, high-heat brake pads, DOT4 fluid and stainless brake lines on my car.

Had a pad change once, couldn't get the pads I liked (Hawk), so had to settle for local pads, in the meantime. The braking was crap. Fad resistance was crap. Far before you ever got to the point where the brake fluid started heating up and those fancy stainless lines started earning their pay, the pads would give up the ghost.

And this goes for any street driven car. Your tires, brake pads and brake fluid will all go far south before your rubber brake lines start becoming a problem.

Stainless steel braided lines DO help. They help if you've got a car running aggressive rubber and brakes and you are doing a competitive twenty or thirty lap race on the track. One where you need to go from 160-200 km/h down to about 80-100 at the end of the main straight lap-after-lap-after-lap (Subic was the worst... 160+++ down to a freaking 180 degree hairpin! I've seen a lot of brakes catch fire there... ) On the streets, you will either get yourself killed or in really, really big trouble long before the lines make a difference.

If you want a brake upgrade, upgrade your fluid, change your pads for something better, and get some real rubber at those corners. For most spirited driving, this is more than enough. And if you plan to do the type of driving on the streets that actually requires the lines, may God have mercy on your soul. Because that tree up ahead won't.
