Braided Brake Lines (ADR approved) suit 80 series Landcruiser

We have managed to locally source ADR approved braided brake lines. We ran our cruiser for many months with the standard lines, but given the increased line pressure we are much more comfortable with the lines upgraded.

The average life of brake lines is 8-10 years for normal use. On many cars they last much longer than that, but for an offroad vehicle that gets treated accordingly the lines are prone to damage due to:

- increase flexing and movement along rough roads.

- debris damage from rocks and sticks flying up.

- oil or grease on the lines will reduce their lifespan too.

If the pedal feels spongy then it is definitely time to change them.
