Fox Body Mustang Brake Hoses
Fox Body factory-style replacement rubber brake hoses are great for replacing worn-out or leaking hoses. Do you have a more aggressive driving style, or do any road racing or autocross racing? If yes, upgrading to a set of Fox Body stainless steel braided brake hoses for the front and rear is a great option. Stainless steel brake lines are manufactured to flex less under extreme conditions and are more corrosive resistant than factory OE-style brake hoses.
Late Model Restoration carries brake hoses from all your favorite manufacturers. We also have a complete line of brake hardware, such as banjo bolts, washers, brake bleeders, and adaptors you will need to finish your brake project.
Factory OE Style Brake Hoses versus Stainless Steel Brake Hoses
A common question is which brake hoses are best for my project. There are two types of brake lines available for your Mustang. The first is factory/OE-style rubber hoses. We offer these as a great restoration part to return your brakes to a factory look, fit and finish. These are great for everyday driving. These rubber brake hoses have some fundamental shortcomings in that they will flex under heavier braking conditions. These are not the best hoses for customers looking to do more aggressive racing, such as road racing or auto-crossing.
The second style is stainless steel brake hoses. These hoses are designed and engineered for customers looking to do more aggressive driving. Unlike factory rubber hoses, these stainless steel hoses flex and expand less during spirited driving. This results in less "spongy" and inconsistent braking. This is thanks to how these are manufactured with stainless steel braided hoses.
Pairing a set of these hoses with performance brake pads and rotors can drastically improve your braking characteristics without breaking the bank with a big brake kit. 5.0 Resto has taken this concept to the next level with its Fox Body Brake Upgrade Package. This kit pairs some of the most popular stainless steel brake hoses and pads to drastically improve your braking and stopping power.
