money must burn a hole in your pocket. you dont need longer brake lines for a 3 inch lift. just bend the mounting bkts . its works a treat & save your money for something more important i have done at least a dozen 3 inch lifts this year & no problems

ace brake and clutch quoted me $75/hose for braided lines.
they are one of the authorised outlets of http://www.braidedhoses.com.au
here are some others: http://braidedhoses.com.au/wherebuy-vic.html

thanks for the help guys, i could probably bend the front bracket but the back line is really tight, for the sake of a hundred bucks id rather know my brakes are not going to fail me. thanks for the list nam very helpful, will make a few calls after the public holiday

Try and find a local brake specialist to make one up for you. $50-$75 for the rear.

I am pretty sure you can use your existing rear brake line on the front if you buy a longer rear one.

If you can't be stuffed looking I will sell you one for $65+freight($6).

Of course you can bend it also. I must admit I bodged mine like this but I am a cheap skate.

Croydon Advanced Brake and Clutch. Highly recommended!

The older dude there looked after me. Had all 6 lines (2 mains longer and 4 caliper standard length) replaced with stamped and approved braided lines for $260, fitted, system bled, the lot. I nailed him down on the price so you may not be able to match my price but it won't be far off. This was for a GU.

If anyone pays $75 per line you're a dumbass, shop around, the most I got charged per line was $40 for the long ones and $30 for the caliper lines. The hose is not expensive, it's the fittings on the line and testing time.

what about a place in sydney where the price isnt a ripoff?

The braided hose is $26 a meter from enzed,

The prob with that is they are not legal unless pressure tested, certified and stamped and I am only aware of 1 Enzed in Melbourne that has the machine to do that and they are northern suburbs somewhere.

not many about that have adr approval.

Maltech do.

will make on site to if wanted.

i don't know about you mate, but i spare no expense when it comes to brakes. I have TJM rubber extended lines for my 2.5" suspension lifted hilux. I would go braided if i was going to keep the vehicle.
