The HEL Performance Subaru Forester SJ 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.

Definitely worth the price
Size: 6.5, Color: Black/Black
Absolutely love these boots! I originally bought them to wear in NYC in December & they did not disappoint. They were comfortable, cute, durable and worked well in the slush/snow. The traction on the bottom is also nice! They kept me warm with wool socks. I wear them almost daily now. Perfect for everyday. easy to wear with variety of outfits. Good every day shoe.

Snagged a deal
Size: 7, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
I waited and waited to get these boots! I knew I was chancing it, but they went on sale, and I snagged them! I am a size 7, and they fit nicely with socks. a little loose, barefooted, but what psycho wears boots without socks? They are comfortable and really well-made.

Cute, comfortable waterproof boots (a little snug to put on)
Size: 7, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
These are really cute Chelsea-style boots and feel very comfortable once they’re on. The waterproof material is great for wet weather and the sole feels sturdy with good traction. They look stylish enough to wear casually but still feel practical for rainy days. The only downside is they can be a little difficult to put on at first because the opening is somewhat snug, but once they’re on they fit well and feel supportive. Overall they’re a great waterproof boot and I’ve enjoyed wearing them.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.
