INDUSTRY, Calif. – StopTech, the high-performance and racing brand from Centric Parts, introduces new braided stainless steel brake line kits for both the 2014 Ford Fiesta ST, as well as the 2015 VW Golf (Mk7). StopTech Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines provide a quicker, firmer, more consistent pedal response by reducing system compliance and maintaining consistent brake pressure, according to Centric.
StopTech stainless steel lines provide precision brake modulation, especially during threshold braking, the company states. The improvement in pedal feel is more dramatic on older vehicles where the factory rubber line may have softened and swelled due to age, Centric says.
StopTech brake lines consist of a PTFE inner line that carries the brake fluid, which is then covered with a layer of woven stainless steel braid. The PTFE tube is very resistant to expansion under pressure and will not degrade from exposure to brake fluid, according to Centric.
The braided stainless steel provides support for the PTFE and the weave is extremely durable against incidental impact and abrasion. The stainless braided hose also is coated with a clear abrasion-resistant PVC cover for maximum protection against chaffing.
In addition to the new Fiesta ST and Golf kits, StopTech offers a variety of Braided Stainless Steel Brake Line Kits with end fittings to match most application needs. All fittings are engineered for proper fit and durability. All necessary brackets and fasteners are included with each line kit.
