I have Safebrake on the rear and another brand on the front. Fronts were made up by a bloke in Melb or Syd. I'm happy with both. Difference in stopping was amazing. Braids all round made a big improvement on my ute brakes.

Shouldn't matter what braided lines you use, as long as they're ADR approved, otherwise the car is unroadworthy and you run into insurance issues etc... HEL should be a good bet though.

They used to be illegal but AFAIK the rules changed and approved braided lines are now ok. IIRC they were illegal because they were concerned about backyarders making brake lines that might not be safe.

What are you driving? I thought pretty much model Coms were covered?

Cheers, I think ill go with the HEL lines just because they have lifetime warranty, Safebreak only has 5 years. I did go to a place here that makes the lines but they wanted 90-110 per line, was cheaper than buyin em from supercheap and all that too, so woulda been about 5-600 for a set. Looking forward to chuckin em on!
