As in any performance application,
replacing squishy rubber parts with a performance piece will
increase response and feel - brakes are no different. Stock
rubber brake hoses (4-6 per car) expand under pressure, requiring
increased fluid volume and increased pedal movement for a desired
stopping force. Constructed using top quality components, our
braided stainless lines reduce this slop dramatically.
BimmerWorld Evo lines feature a
non-expansive Teflon® center core, surrounded by braided stainless
steel for durability and abrasion resistance. Lines are
sheathed with an attractive blue plastic cover for a clean look and
to prevent debris from working into the stainless
braids.
Line end fittings are a heavy-duty
steel with a durable zinc plating. In our years of experience
in racing and the performance BMW industry, we have seen several
specific failures from typical stainless brake lines. Our
fittings are designed to eliminate the common stress/failure
point. Additionally, the hydraulic crimping method used in
manufacturing our BimmerWorld Evo lines leaves a smooth transition
between the filling and line, which is yet further protected from
stress and abrasion by a flexible rubber sleeve.
Finally, all of our BimmerWorld Evo
lines are tested to at least 3,000psi, and stamped with our DOT
approval number. This DOT stamp is the government's approval
that our manufacturing process produces lines able to endure
rigorous testing that simulates road use. This 3 digit stamp
on each of our lines ensures that every line is made and tested to
DOT standards, with the DOT stamp of approval - not just "made to
DOT standards" or "DOT compliant" like many other
brands.
Each of our line sets includes
either 4 or 6 lines to replace ALL rubber lines on your BMW,
resulting in a rock-solid brake pedal and results you will feel
immediately. Custom line sets also available, including
partial sets to compliment big-brake kits and AN lines for racing
applications - please inquire.
NOTE: Some 1999 E36 cars use a 4 line E46-spec
kit with only 2 lines in the rear of the rear (1 per side). Please
verify which set your car uses if you have any doubts.
