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 V2 lines feature a non-expansive Teflon®
center core, surrounded by braided stainless steel for durability
and abrasion resistance. V2 lines incorporate a coated alloy
attachment sleeve for added strength and chemical 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 V2
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 V2 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.
*Some 1999 E36 cars use a 4 line kit with only 2 lines in the
rear of the car (1 per side). Please verify which set your
car uses if you have any doubts.
