Mazda2 Steel Braided Brake Lines

SUPERCIRCUIT has the Steel Breided Brake Hoses for the 4th generation Mazda2 (also called Mazda Demio, model year 2004~). Here are the photos during the installation:


The factory stock front braking system comes with rubber brake hoses. Most of the time, 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.


The rubber brake hose of the Mazda2 front wheel (SEE BELOW).

We replaced the Mazda2 factory stock rubber brake hoses to steel braided brake hoses 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.

The original rear braking system of the Mazda2 comes with one rubber brake hose at each side (SEE BELOW). 


Please note the angled fitting of the original factory stock rubber brake hose (PICTURE BELOW) will be replaced with a straight one from SUPERCIRCUIT. 

The head fitting (at the chassis side) is replaced by a straight one from SUPERCIRCUIT. The tail banjo fitting (at the caliper side) is then replaced from a straight one to an angled one for ease of installation (SEE BELOW). The length of the steel braided brake hose is also carefully selected, taking into account the factors of wheels steer as well as the shock absorber's travelling.

All SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Hose Fittings are 100% compatible with the factory stock braking and ABS system of the Mazda 2/ Mazda Demio DJ. 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*.
