Audi Q7 Steel Braided Brake Lines

It takes a lot of effort to slow down this gigantic machine while travelling at high speed, not to mention to bring it to a stand still. One of the very important components in the stopping of the Audi Q7 is the brake hoses.


A part of the stock original front brake hose of the Audi Q7 shown below. The stock brake hose is made of rubber. In most cases, moisture will be absorbed into the brake fluid systems through rubber brake hoses and contaminate brake fluid, contaminated brake fluid can be harmful to the rubber brake hoses' inner surface, and affect the braking performance.


We replaced all the Audi Q7 rubber brake hoses to the steel braided one from SUPERCIRCUIT. The SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake hoses are more resistant to brake fading especially under hard braking conditions and when the brake fluid is boiling e.g. high speed continuous braking, downhill etc. Thanks to the Teflon inner hose which is able to withstand high temperature and the steel braided layer preventing the hoses from swelling under high pressure braking.

A close-up look at the fittings. For safety reasons, all SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake lines are OEM compatible, no modification on the fittings, brackets or calipers are required.

This is the rear rubber brake hose of the Audi Q7, originally wrapped in metal coil.


This is the 3-layer steel braided brake hose from SUPERCIRCUIT installed to the rear right hand side of the Audi Q7. 


All SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Hose Fittings are 100% compatible with the factory stock braking and ABS system of the Audi Q7. The brackets and fittings are carefully selected and engineered in the USA for maximum safety and performance.


SuperCircuit steel Braided Brake Lines are compliant to Society of Automotive Engineers, International (SAE J1401) and DOT Standard Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS106) and every hose is tested to 3000 p.s.i. (normal brake master pump will reach around 1800 p.s.i.). Best of all, it comes with Lifetime Warranty*.

Alfa Romeo 156 Custom Made Front Steel Braided Brake Lines - Dos & Don'ts

We have a very good Dos and Don'ts example with this custom made Alfa Romeo steel braided brake lines to we did today.



The Alfa Romeo 156 came to SUPERCIRCUIT for a set of custom made front steel braided brake hoses because the front calipers are modified and it was installed with a set of custom made steel braided brake hose by the previous owener. We inspected the brake hoses thoroughly and this is what the findings are:

The exposed steel braided brake hoses at the fitting increases the risk of exposure to contamination due to the elements.  

The wrongly calculated brake hose length causes it to rub against the vehicle body. A good set of brake hose should have enough clearance and not rubbing against anything. 

The wrongly calculated brake hose length also causes it to rub against the caliper bracket. This is cause excessive wear and tear in long run. The SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake hoses length is carefully measured with steering wheel movements and absorber movements are being taken into account.

The good set of steel braided brake hose should be clear from any moving component, so to reduce the risk of wear and tear. 

All SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Hose Fittings are 100% compatible with the factory stock braking and ABS system of the Alfa Romeo 156. The brackets and fittings are carefully selected and engineered in the USA for maximum safety and performance.

SuperCircuit steel Braided Brake Lines are compliant to Society of Automotive Engineers, International (SAE J1401) and DOT Standard Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS106) and every hose is tested to 3000 p.s.i. (normal brake master pump will reach around 1800 p.s.i.). Best of all, it comes with Lifetime Warranty*.
