The HEL Performance Subaru Forester 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. This gives HEL full control over the manufacturing process, leading to exceptional quality and faultless products. This commitment guarantees longevity and unwavering durability, even when used in the most demanding and challenging conditions.
  • Road legal anywhere in the world When it comes to brakes, compromise simply isn't an option, especially in highly competitive motorsport environments where safety and victory can both depend on HEL's range of products. The entire range of HEL brake hoses comply with the strict criteria and requirements of FMVSS-106 and are supported by a wealth of certification, so you can use them anywhere in the world with utmost confidence.

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
