Review on πŸ”§ Rubicon Express RE1555: Upgrade Your Braking Performance with Front Stainless Steel Brake Line Set by Daniel Evans

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Save money, buy something else.

I'll start by saying I sent this back. Mainly because they were advertised as a pair but I only received one tube. I also had a chance to test the quality of the product and was not impressed. This is the same China-made hose sold at half price by many other sellers. I expected more from Rubicon Express, I don't know why. It shares the same Jeep YJ design flaw as most lengthened hoses; The exhaust valve has no gap to screw an adjustable wrench onto it. To bleed the brakes after installation, you need to loosen and tighten the bleeder with a thin-walled Allen key, and open and close the bleeder with an open-end wrench due to backlash problems. If your factory hoses are in good condition, either buy extensions for them or move the attachment point under the frame on the hardline side. If you do the latter, you can at least bleed them properly with an adjustable wrench.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • The list will be long.
