The HEL Performance Subaru Forester braided brake line kit has been manufactured in-house, assembled, and machine-crimped directly onto high-quality stainless steel braided hose ensuring an exact match to your standard brake hoses. Each HEL brake line kit arrives complete with every essential component, resulting in a smooth and straightforward installation.

What are the Benefits?

  • Eliminates soft, sponge-like braking and delivers consistent performance Standard rubber brake hoses expand under pressure, especially during harsh braking, resulting in a soft, and unpredictable brake pedal feel. Featuring a 3-layer construction, HEL braided brake hoses can withstand both extreme pressures and temperatures generated during demanding conditions, promoting new levels of braking response, modulation, and control. Standard rubber brake hoses have a lifespan of about 5 years before needing to be replaced. Why settle for inferior brake lines when HEL replacements, priced similarly, offer a lifetime of reliability?
  • Unrivaled durability and abrasion resistance While other manufacturers cut corners with zinc-plated fittings, HEL takes pride in manufacturing every brake hose fitting in-house using high-quality 303/304 grade stainless steel. HEL braided brake hoses feature a robust PTFE inner core, renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance and extreme temperature tolerance. Unlike traditional rubber hoses, the PTFE core shields against perishing or cracking, even over long periods of time. Reinforcing the PTFE core is a high-strength stainless steel overbraid, providing further protection against wear and tear. As a final layer of safeguarding, a clear or colored wipe-clean PVC cover finishes the hose neatly and protects body panels and paintwork from becoming marred or scratched.
  • Built to last, backed by the no-quibble HEL Lifetime Warranty Having full control over the in-house manufacturing process puts HEL in the position to promise you that there is no doubt in their quality, and it is something HEL is extremely proud of. All HEL brake hoses are tested to extremes in the laboratory, and on the racetrack, where they're proven time and time again.
  • Enhanced aesthetics and customization With multiple hose color options available, you have the freedom to customize your brake line kit to coordinate with your color scheme. If you prefer the OEM look, classic opaque Black seamlessly blends in. However, for those looking to make a statement, HEL offers a diverse range of colors to complement most preferences.
  • HEL's unique, trend-setting hose fitting and ferrule design Every HEL Performance brake line fitting features a unique internal multi-groove design. During the assembly process, as the hose fitting and ferrule are swaged onto the hose, the PTFE inner core is pushed into three internal grooves. These grooves are dual-purpose: they form internal sealing o-rings and they enable the free and secure rotation of the fittings post-hydraulic swaging. This innovative design not only maintains the integrity of the hose but also guarantees that the fittings remain securely in place. In bespoke applications, this promotes the ability to cleverly rotate the fittings whilst in position to finesse the fitment. The hose ferrule features an internally located locking groove, which securely aligns with a channel on the hose fitting. Once swaged together, this mechanism ensures that the hose fitting will never detach from the hose.

Why choose HEL Performance?

  • Superior quality - like no other What sets HEL apart is simple yet significant; HEL handles the entire manufacturing process in-house for the complete range of stainless steel brake hose fittings and ferrules using an array of the latest technology CNC machinery. This gives HEL full control over the manufacturing process, leading to exceptional quality and faultless products.

Beautiful bag BUT no hangtag💔
Size: One Size, Color: Merlot, Size: One Size, Color: Merlot
I was delighted with this bag! It’s my first time ordering Coach from Amazon. I saw it on sale and didn’t think twice. It came very well packaged, just like new. I attached the strap to wear it like shoulder strap and added a charm. 🍒✨ The problem?? It came without the Coach hangtag!! I was totally disappointed. I contacted Amazon of course, and they asked me to return the bag with no option to repurchase it at the same price I got it for. I highly doubt it will go on sale again, so I decided to keep it and managed to find the hangtag on Poshmark.

Great option for a great price
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
I love these sandals. They are well made, true to size and soft suede. They are lightweight and feel just like my UGG goldenstar sandals. (These are not as adjustable, so if you have narrow or wide feet, these may not be for you) These a great value for the money, especially for medium width feet. The strap across the toe is not adjustable, but fit my feet just fine. The ankle strap was a good length for me. And the Velcro is strong. These sandals are a great value for the money. I will probably start looking into kookaburra before I rush to buy the more expensive ones now.

Quality, good looking shoes!
Size: 8.5, Color: Green
Absolutely perfect fit, design, and color. I'm so pleased with these sandals and as always with this brand, I am not in anyway disappointed. These shoes are so comfortable right out of the box. They clean up very nicely, and last forever. I am so glad I got these before they were sold out.

UGG Comfort Without the Premium Price
Size: 9, Color: Beige, Size: 9, Color: Beige
These sandals are super cute and incredibly comfortable. They have that classic UGG look and feel, but at a much more approachable price point. The footbed is cushioned and supportive, making them easy to wear for extended periods. The straps feel secure without rubbing, and the overall construction feels solid and well made. They’re lightweight but still have a sturdy sole with good traction. They pair effortlessly with casual outfits and have that relaxed, elevated vibe UGG is known for—just without the higher price tag. A great value for both style and comfort.
