Posts: 12Looking 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?

Posts: 5 777Braided 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.

Posts: 12What 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

Posts: 5 777sorry 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.

Posts: 12All good, maybe I should’ve been clearer in saying I’m replacing the flexi rubber hoses with braided ones
March 31, 2015 at 10:18 pm #3718The 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

Posts: 39Goodridge 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.
July 2, 2016 at 8:47 am #18068Goodridge 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.
