Does this set fit a GD Fit with rear drum brakes?

No. The ST set is built for GD1 and GD3 Fits that came with rear disc brakes. A Fit with rear drums needs the SUS drum brake set instead, so check the rear brakes and the chassis code on your car before you order.

What does ST mean on the ST Brake Lines for GD1 and GD3?

It identifies the fitting material. The ST Brake Lines for GD1 and GD3 Fits use steel fittings with an olive chromate plated finish that resists rust, chosen to keep the cost down. The hose itself is the same braided PTFE design used across the range. The SUS versions switch the fittings to stainless steel.

Will I notice a difference over stock rubber hoses?

Yes, mainly in pedal feel. Stock rubber hoses balloon slightly as the fluid heats, so the pedal goes long and soft. The braided PTFE hose barely expands, so the pedal stays firm and responds the moment you press it, most noticeably on a track.

Is professional installation needed?

The manufacturer lists brake lines as an important safety part to be fitted by a shop qualified for brake work. A loose fitting or air left in the system can cause a failure, so a technician should install the lines, bleed the brakes completely and check for leaks.

How durable are the plated steel fittings?

The olive chromate plating is applied to resist rust, and the manufacturer describes the fittings as durable. In a wet or salted climate stainless fittings are the safer long term bet, since they do not rely on a coating, so inspect these at each brake service.

Description

J’s Racing ST Brake Lines for GD1 / GD3 Honda Fit with Rear Disc Brakes

J’s Racing’s ST Brake Lines for GD1 and GD3 Fits are the version of the Osaka tuner’s brake line system built for cars with rear disc brakes. They use the same PTFE hose inside a stainless steel braid as the SUS range, but the fittings are steel finished in olive chromate plating, which resists rust while keeping the price sensible. On a rear disc GD Fit driven hard, the pedal stays at the same height lap after lap instead of sinking as the fluid heats; gentle town drivers will feel a crisper pedal, though the gain is smaller.

Design and Performance

Heat is the weakness of a stock rubber hose: hot fluid makes it expand and pedal travel grows. J’s Racing wraps a PTFE hose, a material developed for aircraft use, in stainless mesh and a clear coat, so the line hardly swells under pressure. The result J’s Racing describes is a firm, immediate response to small pedal inputs and steadier control when ABS or brake assist activates.

Features

PTFE hose inside a stainless steel mesh braid, protected by a clear coat
Steel fittings with olive chromate plating for corrosion resistance at a lower cost
Every hose pressure tested one by one before shipping to confirm it does not leak
Pedal feel that holds steady through hard sports driving
Matched to GD1 and GD3 Fits fitted with rear disc brakes

Applications

Honda Fit: GD1 / GD3 | 2001-2008 | 1.3L L13A or 1.5L L15A

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
