Brake lines ADR approved??

I have the Cusco Brake stopper.
I will look to get the rear pads aswell as what you said makes perfect sense.
Thank you guys.

Not sure if your in Sydney mate but Race Brakes Sydney (not the same as the Race brakes in VIC) quoted me $160 a pair for 28cm braided + teflon + fittings and ADR approval tag....:thumbsup:

i had braided lines before and i never trakced my car... combined with:
- brake stopper
- slotted rotors
- decent pads
- good fluids

the stopping power and brake response is instantaneous unlike just having the brake stopper where it FEELS responsive

it's an especially good combo with the brake stopper (if you get all 4 corners) as it eliminates all possible flex in the system... was soooo good that it becomes very apparent when you have half-arsed tyres that break traction quicker...

but then again stopping power is a good combination of Brakes, tyres, Suspension setup.

So times by two (for front and rear) and we are in the same sort of money :). My point was more directed at the 'prepackaged' overseas lines.

What is a good fluid to use?

all good all good... i thought you were quoting a pair which seems to be the going rate with traders.

the cheaper alternative was ordering from the states (not ADR approved) but can be engineered and have the coloured adr tag crimped on. works out cheaper only if you have a lot of other stuff getting engineered since i was getting quoted along the lines of ~US$80 for a set of 4 SS braided+ teflon + fittings.

Depends on your application. Street? Track?

Street.

Honda brake fluid. :thumbsup:

Sweet.Dat's what I'm using :)

High performance brake fluid can withstand higher temperatures, but they absorb moisture quicker. So if your car was a track car, go for something like Motul RBF600. But for street, nothing beats the longevity and bang for your buck of Honda brake fluid, except for Castrol's Super DOT4 Response.

Got a quote from Maltech:
"4 x Stainless braided brake hoses to suit Honda Civic are $ 375.00 Inc GST & Postage
These are ADR Approved and tested to 3500psi
Kit will come with 8 new Copper washers"
