Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) Steel Braided Brake Lines

We have supplied and installed yet another set of SUPERCIRCUIT high performance steel braided brake line to the FK8 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8R) at our installation bays today.


<FRONT BRAKES>
Firstly, the front wheels of the Honda Civic FK8 Type-R is removed in order to access to the front brake hoses.


The below picture shows how the factory stock original front rubber brake hose of the Honda Civic FK8 Type-R held by the 'centre bracket'.


Nothing wrong with original rubber brake hoses, they are cheaper to produce and also serve the purpose of transferring the brake fluid pressure to the calipers accordingly.

However, under extreme or hard braking conditions, when the brake fluid starts to boil, the brake pedal slackens and the braking power drops significantly. When brake fluid boils, air locks are produced that can be compressed; therefore brake pedal can be pressed right down to the floor but the vehicle brakes will not be applied i.e. brake fade.

We replaced the front rubber brake hoses of the Honda Civic FK8 Type-R with the SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Hoses as shown in the picture below.

The SUPERCIRCUIT front steel braided brake hoses also come with compatible brackets which is crucial to secure the front brake hose in position regardless how the front wheels are steered or how the front suspensions are travelled, so it is not rubbing with anything around it e.g. rims, tyres or the front shock absorbers.

<REAR BRAKES>
The original rear side of this Honda Civic FK8 Type-R brake system comes with solid disc with rubber brake hose setup as shown below.



We replaced the rear rubber brake hoses with the SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided ones as shown in the below picture.

The length of each SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake lines on the Honda Civic FK8 Type-R are carefully calibrated so they are not subjected to over stretching or compressed during the movement suspensions.

Further more, the PTFE Teflon inner core is very resistance to expansion under pressure therefore a more responsive brake during normal driving and also preventing 'brake fading' due to boiling brake fluid during extreme conditions.

Renault Megane III RS Steel Braided Brake Lines

We have installed the SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Lines to the 3rd generation Renault Megane RS (2009-2017). The steel braided brake lines by SUPERCIRCUIT improve the braking responsiveness and also minimize brake fading under hard braking conditions.


<FRONT>
The Renault Megane III RS's front wheels are removed in order to access to the front brake hoses. The Renault Megane III RS front braking system comes with BREMBO calipers & ventilated brake rotors as shown in the picture below.


The stock factory fitted rubber brake hose tends to deteriorate through expansion and moisture, especially under high operating temperatures; it will also swell with age and restrict brake fluid flow. So, inspect your rubber brake hoses frequently or swap it with a steel braided one. 


The Renault Megane III RS original rubber brake hose (picture above) is replaced with the SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Lines for better braking response and improved stopping performance!

The stainless steel braided layer on top of the PTFE Teflon core of SUPERCIRCUIT brake lines prevents further expansion under extreme pressure, hence better braking response and consistent braking performance under hard braking conditions.


<REAR>
The rear side of the Renault Megane III RS, which is a solid brake rotor setup as shown in the picture below.


The factory stock rubber brake hoses can be found at the rear axle, after the rear wheels are removed, as shown in the picture below.


The factory stock rear rubber brake hose is replaced with the SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake hoses, for better braking response and consistent braking performance.

The SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Hose Kit is designed for direct replace with the factory stock orignal rubber brake hose, no mod is required.

Honda CR-V (RM) Steel Braided Brake Lines

We have supplied and installed the SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Hose Kit to the 4th generation Honda Civic (RM, 2011-2016) to improve the braking performance of the SUV.

<HONDA CR-V FRONT BRAKE HOSES>
We removed the front wheels in order to get access to the original stock rubber brake hose. Front ventilated disc brake of the Honda CR-V (RM) shown in the picture below.


The factory stock original front rubber brake hose shown in the picture below tends to deteriorate over the time through expansions and contractions during braking processes, especially under high operating temperatures; it will also swell with age and restrict brake fluid flow. So, inspect your rubber brake hoses frequently.


The SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake hose is fitted to the Honda CR-V (RM) front brake system as shown in the picture.


The stainless steel braided layer on top of the PTFE Teflon core of SUPERCIRCUIT brake lines prevents further expansion under extreme pressure, hence better braking response and consistent braking performance under hard braking conditions.


<HONDA CR-V REAR BRAKE HOSES>
The rear side of this Honda CR-V (RM) brake system comes with solid disc setup as shown below.


We replaced the Honda CR-V (RM) rear brake with the SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake hoses, for better braking response and consistent braking performance. The SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Hose Kit is designed for direct replace with the factory stock orignal rubber brake hose, no mod is required.
