AC PERFORMANCE 7/16" Braided Stainless Steel Brake Hose Kit - Disc Brake

The AC PERFORMANCE Braided Stainless Steel Brake Hose Kit provides durable replacement brake lines designed specifically to fit most GM vehicles with disc brakes. Built to replace worn or flexible stock lines, these hoses offer drivers a firmer pedal feel under heavy braking and help reduce stopping distances during panic stops.

Durability is at the core of this hose kit. Each 18-inch line features a PTFE hose wrapped in a stainless steel cover with a protective PVC exterior, making the assembly highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and everyday wear. In factory evaluations, the design withstood a continuous whip test of 1,680,000 rotations at 800 RPM without cracking or breaking, and every unit is 100 percent pressure tested at 4000 PSI with an ultimate burst pressure between 12,550 and 13,500 PSI.

Installation is supported by a comprehensive hardware bundle. Alongside the two lines, the kit includes two 7/16x20 banjo bolts with 23mm UHL, four copper washers, two 3/8x24 male to female inverted flare adapters, two clips, two mounts, and two weld-on tabs. The hoses work reliably across an extreme temperature range of -70°C to 260°C and maintain compatibility with standard DOT3, DOT4, DOT5, and DOT 5.1 brake fluids.

As for limitations, the 18-inch fixed length and specific 7/16 banjo to 3/8x24 female connections are engineered primarily around GM applications, meaning they will not fit vehicles requiring different end fittings. Additionally, utilizing the included weld-on tabs requires access to welding equipment during installation.

Verdict: This brake line kit is a solid, certified upgrade for GM vehicle owners looking to improve brake responsiveness and long-term durability. It delivers thoroughly tested components backed by DOT and IATF16949 certifications along with a 2-year, 50,000 km warranty.
