stoptech holds its reputation.

im not sure about the another brands but im curious and would like to know feedback
my brake lines fade randomly... my rear brake lines are mesed up. i mean MESSED UP!!! the E-brake light doesnt go off until my car or brake system is warmed up completely and even then, the light still goes off.

yup in need of new brake lines. ive been driving with this problem for about 10k miles hahah.

feedback and comments please :D

 

Our lines are made in house and each line is individualy pressure tested. Most companies only test a few lines out of an entire batch. Our lines also have the silicone sleeving to prolong the life of the lines and to prevent debris from damaging the inner liner as the braiding loosens up over time.

Im curious as to how you know your brake lines are the problem and how they got messed up in the first place. Under what conditions are you experiencing brake fade? Have you bled the system properly using a pressure bleeder? You cant properly bleed a tC without one.

i know because i messed them up myself hahaha. step on the brake very very hard to see how hard then go...

and + if it was the brake pressure. i woud feel no braking force if i pressed down on the pedal.

kinda hard to explain.

but yes when i purchase brake lines, i was going to get brake fluid and rotors at the same time.

 

We have a stage 2 brake kit available with slotted or drilled rotors, SS lines, Axxis Ultimate brake pads and 3 bottles of Motul RBF 600 that replaces all 4 corners for the tC.

Its a better deal when you buy the parts in a kit.

 

im well aware but

i already got pads and brake fluid.

all i need is pads ATM and im gettin the powerslot BIG rotor

 

Im interested to hear how that works out. Even though you will be increasing the rotor sizes equally (about 16%) you will still be increasing rear bias which may lead to some scary driving situations with snap oversteer under braking. Ideally the rear rotor shouldnt be increased as much as the front rotor (maybe as little as 5-10%) in order to keep the correct brake balance. You may also find that you will be getting into ABS a lot easier with the increased brake torque, especially if you still have stock tires.

 

oo im not increasing the rear. im keep the rears stock or maybe later down the line direct replacements from power slot or stoptech

 

I certainly plan on getting the Stage 1 stoptech kit.

 

ok back to the original question

whats the difference between teh brake lines?


teflon coating? braid steel lines? etc etc?

 

I havent seen the other lines, but our lines have teflon inner liners with the stainless braided outer liner along with the silicone jacket to keep debris from damaging the teflon inner line as the braiding loosens up over time.

I know the Goodridge lines dont have the silicone outer jacket, and its likely the Agency Power and ZPI lines are the same since ZPI uses the Agency crank pulley as well. I dont know if they have the silicone coating or not.

As stated before, we pressure test every line that goes out to ensure it is free from leaks or defects. Most of the other companies will do a batch test where only a small sample of a larger group is tested.

 

thx u

 

that is good information. Thank u
