Brake Line Kit, StopFlex Braided Brake Lines 85-88 Firebird, Front Disc & Rear Drum, (3 pc kit). Shipping is not included, call or email for a shipping quote.
STOPFLEX® incorporates a special 4 layer design for superior strength and virtually no volumetric expansion. It starts with a Teflon PTFE core (liner) which is wrapped first in a Kevlar braid, followed by an elastomer barrier and then it's strengthened further by the outer stainless steel braid.
Replacing original equipment rubber hoses with STOPFLEX® stainless steel braided hoses will increase braking performance by doing away with the soft spongy brake pedal. Rubber hoses expand, with the approximately 1200 psi. generated under hard braking. STOPFLEX® results show a firmer pedal, allowing more control during braking.
What makes a hose D.O.T. certified?
The Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) has developed a set of standards, FMVSS # 06 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard), to which all flexible hoses must perform without failing under extreme conditions. In order to be certified the hose must pass the "whip" test. STOPFLEX® hose's 4 layer design has proved superior under testing conditions and have surpassed D.O.T. conditions.
