SS brake hose selection

[RaKid 466]

Hi team,

 

I'm wanting to upgrade my brake hoses when I upgrade from a GC 4-pot to a Brembo 4-pot - does anyone know what kit I need (GD or GC) when I upgrade?

 

TIA

Usually aftermarket lines come with a generic banjo fitting at the caliper end so they would fit any Subaru caliper (The OEM one has a little leg to stop it spinning). GC has a different bracket on the front struts to GD. GC has a small metal clip and GD bolts onto the strut.

 

I’m sure the banjo is the same in the back but I can’t recall if there is a difference in the bracket.

 

You most likely want a GC kit unless you have changed the front struts to a GD style coilover or something.

Hi - thanks for replying - what I'm really wanting to know is, what SS brake hose kit should I but if I run Brembo brakes - GC or GD?

GC kit.

 

 

The banjo fittings on the brembo calipers are the same size as the Sumitomo 4 pot calipers.

 

Some brake lines have a little locating leg, which isn’t used but doesn’t get in the way either.

Here is a GC8 line on a brembo caliper.

Safebrake?

 

Mine were from them - good quality/fitment /price, no complaints at all.

I've had a good experience with them previously - they are local too. Will give them a bell.

Nice - Need to decide what brand but as long as they work I don't particularly mind

This thread can be archived I guess - thank you for all the responses. I think the idea is to purchase brake hoses that match your chassis.

 

I purchased Goodridge ones and they came with 4 brake lines, 2 pairs of different lengths that were unlabelled, and 8 new copper crush washers. Pretty sure I got them the right way around but pays to double check.
