HEL Performance
Upgrade your braking system with HEL braided brake lines, designed to improve brake pedal feel, reduce hose expansion and give a firmer, more consistent response under braking.
Standard rubber brake hoses can expand slightly under pressure, especially as they age or when the brakes are being worked hard. HEL stainless steel braided brake lines help reduce that expansion, giving a more direct pedal feel and improved confidence on the road or track.
They are a popular upgrade for fast road cars, tuned cars and track day builds, especially when paired with performance brake pads and high-temperature brake fluid.
At Nineteen72 Performance, we supply HEL braided brake line kits for a wide range of performance cars, including BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Toyota and more. Choose the correct kit for your vehicle, or contact us if you are unsure which brake lines you need.
For the best results, we recommend fitting HEL braided lines alongside fresh brake fluid and checking the condition of your pads and discs at the same time.

Why Upgrade to Braided Lines?
Why Upgrade from Rubber Brake Hoses to Braided Brake Lines?
Factory rubber brake hoses are fine for normal road use, but they can become a weak point when the car is driven harder. Over time, rubber hoses can age, soften or expand slightly under braking pressure.
Braided brake lines are designed to reduce that expansion. This helps transfer brake pressure more directly from the pedal to the caliper, giving the driver a more positive and controlled brake pedal feel.
Key benefits of braided brake lines
- Improved brake pedal feel
- Better consistency under repeated braking
- Reduced hose expansion compared with old rubber lines
- Increased durability
- Ideal when upgrading pads, discs and brake fluid
- A sensible upgrade for spirited road driving and track use
Braided lines will not make your brakes more powerful on their own, but they can make the braking system feel sharper, firmer and more predictable. For the best results, combine them with a quality brake fluid and the right brake pad compound for your driving style.
HEL Performance FAQ's
Here's some frequently asked questions about HEL braking products!
Who are HEL Performance?
HEL Performance are a UK-based manufacturer best known for stainless steel braided brake lines, clutch lines, AN fittings and motorsport braking components. They manufacture their mainline stainless steel high-performance brake line fittings in-house in the UK.
Why choose HEL braided brake lines?
HEL braided brake lines are a popular upgrade because they help improve brake pedal feel, reduce hose expansion and provide more consistent braking response. They are a strong choice for road, fast road, track day and motorsport applications.
What is the difference between braided brake lines and rubber brake hoses?
Standard rubber brake hoses can expand under pressure, particularly as they age or when the brakes get hot. Braided brake lines use a reinforced stainless steel outer layer to help reduce expansion, giving a firmer and more consistent pedal feel.
Are HEL brake lines suitable for road cars?
Yes, HEL braided brake lines are suitable for many road cars when the correct kit is selected and fitted properly. They are a common upgrade on performance road cars because they improve pedal feel without needing to change the calipers or discs.
Are HEL brake lines suitable for track cars?
Yes, HEL braided brake lines are well suited to track cars. On track, braking systems are exposed to higher temperatures and repeated heavy braking, so pedal consistency becomes more important.
Should I upgrade brake fluid at the same time?
Do HEL brake lines come in different colours?
HEL brake lines are available with different hose colour options depending on application and supplier availability. This allows you to choose a more OEM-style look or a brighter colour for a modified build.
How do I know which HEL brake line kit fits my car?
Choose the kit listed for your exact vehicle, model, year and brake setup. Some cars have different brake configurations, so check carefully before ordering. If you are unsure, contact us with your registration and brake setup.
