The Hel braided brake lines are a direct replacement of the factory lines and are stronger (read: more reliable) than the factory rubber lines which are prone to breaking but they also eliminate the spongy feel of the standard brake lines. The front lines are also longer to compensate for big brake setups or cars with more steering lock (which would see stretching with the factory line).
The brake lines are manufactured specifically for Hel and they comply with all DOT, TUV, and ADR specifications.
Vehicle Compatibility:
- Nissan S13 Silvia
- Nissan 180sx
NOTE: If you are using R32, R33 or Z32 rear brakes, please order the brakes to suit .
Will this fit my car?
We can only confirm fitment for the vehicles listed above under "vehicle compatibility". If your car is not listed there, then we don't know if it will fit.
If you are running either S13, S14 or S15 calipers, then these are a direct fit.
Do you make these to suit other cars?
We only sell the parts listed on our website. If it's not listed on our website, then we don't sell it. Sorry.
What's the advantage of using the Hel brake lines?
Our lines are an OEM replacement and are stronger and more reliable than OEM. They also do not flex and swell as the OEM rubber lines do.
What modifications are required, are these hard to fit?
No modifications are required, simply just remove and refit.
Is there anything else needed for installation?
You will need to re-bleed your brakes, so you will need tools and brake fluid, in terms of the lines they will arrive as shown in the product photo.
Can I install this myself? If so how long will installation take?
Yes, the brake lines are easy to install. Simply remove your old lines and replace them with your new lines, then tighten the lines referencing the OEM torque specs. You will then need to top up the brake fluid and bleed the brake system. However, being the brake system we recommend only a trained professional to install this product.
