The StopTech 950.37013 Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit is a premium braking upgrade tailored specifically for Porsche 911 (1998 to 2013) and Boxster 986 owners. Over time, factory rubber brake hoses tend to degrade and expand under pressure, leading to a spongy and unresponsive brake pedal. This kit is designed to cure that soft pedal feel by replacing the flexible factory lines with heavy-duty, reinforced alternatives, making it an essential purchase for drivers who demand precision and confidence from their braking system.
At the core of this kit is a tough Teflon inner line that completely resists expansion and will not degrade from exposure to harsh brake fluids. This inner core is wrapped in a tightly woven stainless steel braid that protects against abrasion while maintaining the line's structural integrity. To top it off, StopTech includes a clear PVC outer coating that shields the stainless steel from dirt, muck, and chafing. Each line is strictly tested to 4,500 psi and is fully DOT compliant, ensuring they are perfectly safe and legal for street use.
Real-world performance is where these lines truly shine. Drivers report a night and day difference in stopping power, with quicker, firmer, and far more consistent pedal response. The kit includes all the necessary mounting hardware and crush washers required for a seamless installation. However, buyers should be prepared to perform a full brake system bleed to purge any air after installation. It is also highly recommended to soak your old factory fittings in penetrating oil beforehand to make removal easier.
Overall, the StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit is a phenomenal, high-quality investment for your Porsche. It delivers high-end build quality, an exact OEM-style fit, and a tangible improvement in driving dynamics. If you want to maximize your stopping power and brake modulation without investing in a massive big brake kit, these stainless steel lines are the perfect starting point.
