Braided brake hoses

Looking into some braided brake hoses, and just wondering my options. Only a VS with VT front upgrade, so nothing extreme

Safebrake, Goodridge, any others? Has anyone used these brands and are either any good?

Braided brake lines are readily available, but aren’t cheap. If you even half handy with tools, making up new steel hard lines is easy as and cheap. Actually a nice relaxing job.

What hoses did you use on your car? I know they aren’t “cheap” but well worth it. As for the hard lines I do plan to remake them all

sorry mate maybe I have miss read your post? I have braided lines to replace the rubber lines to the calipers, they were made up custom for me by PBR here in Adelaide. All the other lines are the ones I meant, they are all hard lines. Some people have had hard lines made when they move the ABS etc, they are the ones that can be very expensive.

All good, maybe I should’ve been clearer in saying I’m replacing the flexi rubber hoses with braided ones

The braided line that split rear brake line that didn’t come with my brake kit and had to buy extra I got from hopper stoppers

Where good to deal with and new what they where talking about

Goodridge used to be good for evos and rexes, not sure if they make holden stuff. Been a few years since I used them but price was good, as was quality.

Goodridge hoses are pretty good they are barbed on the fitting end for extra strength when crimped to the braided hose. I work at Race Brakes Sydney and make the conversion front lines here and can make virtually any hose custom here as well. A pair of front commodore conversion hoses start from $150 a pair. We also carry the 3/16 hardline and the tube nuts in stock for your hard lines if needed . We are currently looking at sponsorship on this forum as we previously did with the Street Commodore forum.
