Under hard or repeated braking, the factory rubber lines flex and expand under pressure, so part of your pedal effort balloons the lines instead of clamping those Brembos, and the pedal goes soft right when you're leaning on the brakes. These Goodridge braided stainless lines fix that: a PTFE inner line in a stainless steel braid that doesn't expand, so the pedal stays firm and consistent and you get everything the Brembo calipers can give. On a hard-driven TL Type S, it's one of the most worthwhile brake upgrades you can make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Braided Lines Firm Up The Pedal\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what's actually happening, and what these do and don't change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRubber brake lines flex and expand under the pressure of hard braking, and that expansion is what you feel as a soft, spongy pedal, part of your foot pressure is stretching the lines instead of applying the brakes. It gets worse the harder and more repeatedly you brake, and as the factory rubber ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless braid around these Goodridge lines doesn't expand the way rubber does, so all your pedal pressure goes straight to the Brembo calipers. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003efirmer, more responsive pedal with a consistent, linear feel\u003c\/strong\u003e that holds up under hard, repeated braking where rubber lines go soft. To be clear about what braided lines do: they improve pedal feel and consistency, they're not a substitute for better pads, rotors, or tires if you're chasing shorter stopping distances, but for how the brakes feel and respond, the difference is immediate and genuine. On a car with brakes as capable as the Brembo TL Type S, firm lines let you actually feel and use that capability instead of masking it behind spongy rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePTFE Core, Stainless Braid\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is what makes them firm and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach line is a \u003cstrong\u003ePTFE inner line\u003c\/strong\u003e (which handles brake fluid and heat without degrading) inside a \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel overbraid\u003c\/strong\u003e that provides the firmness and protects the line from abrasion and corrosion. Stainless braided lines hold up far better over time than rubber, which cracks and degrades with age, and they look the part behind the wheels too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGoodridge is the name in braided brake lines, and these go through a nine-point quality-assurance process, each line tested for tensile strength and pressure-rated to 3,000 psi. They meet FMVSS 106 (the federal brake-hose safety standard), are DOT compliant, and are TÜV approved, so they're properly certified, not just a cosmetic braided line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eComplete Kit, Direct Bolt-On\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything for the install is in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete set of lines\u003c\/strong\u003e with all the fittings, so there's nothing else to source. The hose ends and brackets are made to match the factory design, so it's a \u003cstrong\u003edirect bolt-on\u003c\/strong\u003e replacement for the rubber lines, mating to your Brembo calipers with no modification. It's a straightforward swap, you're replacing the lines one for one and bleeding the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey're ABS-compatible, and on ABS-equipped cars they also help reduce the pedal chatter you can feel through soft rubber lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eConfirm You Have The Brembo Package\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant for fitment: this kit is specifically for the \u003cstrong\u003eTL Type S with the Brembo brake package\u003c\/strong\u003e. Those cars use different front calipers (and the lines to match) than a non-Brembo TL, so the lines are made for the Brembo setup. Confirm your car has the Brembo front calipers before ordering, if you've got the Brembo package, this is the correct kit for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2004-2008 Acura TL Type S with the Brembo brake package\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Brembo-equipped cars only. Direct fit, mates to the factory Brembo calipers. Complete set of lines with fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the Brembo TL Type S owner who drives the car hard and wants a brake pedal that stays firm and lets those Brembo calipers do their job, instead of a soft factory line masking the braking capability you paid for. PTFE-core stainless braided lines that don't balloon like rubber, a complete direct-bolt-on kit, proper certification, and durable construction that outlasts the aging factory rubber. It won't shorten your stopping distances on its own, but it firms up the pedal and makes hard braking confident and consistent. Confirm you've got the Brembo package, bolt them on, bleed the brakes, and feel the difference on your next hard stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004-2008 Acura TL Type S with the Brembo brake package (Brembo-equipped cars only). \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e braided stainless steel brake line kit, complete set. \u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e PTFE inner line, stainless steel overbraid, 3,000 psi rated. \u003cstrong\u003eBenefit:\u003c\/strong\u003e firmer, more consistent pedal that holds up under hard braking; eliminates the sponginess from flexing rubber lines. \u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e full set of lines with fittings. \u003cstrong\u003eInstall:\u003c\/strong\u003e direct bolt-on, mates to factory Brembo calipers. \u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e FMVSS 106, DOT compliant, TÜV approved. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e confirm your car has the Brembo front calipers before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2007-2008 Acura TL Type S\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Goodridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68487488864290,"sku":"GOO-20106","price":171.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/GOO-20106_f0hf.jpg?v=1791910160","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/goodridge-g-stop-brake-lines-04-08-acura-tl-type-s","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
