Will these lines fit a GD Fit with rear disc brakes?

No. This set is made for GD1 and GD3 Fits that use rear drum brakes. Rear disc cars need the separate ST version, which pairs the same braided PTFE hose with plated steel fittings. Look behind a rear wheel for a drum or a rotor before ordering.

Do the SUS Brake Lines for GD1 cars also fit the GD3?

Yes. The SUS Brake Lines for GD1 cars are listed for the GD3 as well, the chassis code of the 2007 and 2008 US market Fit with the 1.5L L15A. The car must have rear drum brakes, and the Japanese catalog does not list the GD2 or GD4.

What changes compared with the stock rubber hoses?

Rubber hoses expand as the fluid heats under hard use, so the pedal travels further and feels soft. The PTFE hose and stainless braid barely expand at high temperature and pressure, so the pedal stays firm and braking force builds in step with your effort.

Can I install the lines myself?

The manufacturer classes brake lines as a critical safety part and specifies installation at a shop equipped for brake work. A loose fitting or incomplete air bleed can leave the brakes unsafe, so unless you know brake hydraulics well, have a technician fit the lines and bleed the system.

Are they suitable for a car driven every day?

Yes. The manufacturer designed the set for street driving through circuit use, and the stainless fittings resist rust on a Fit driven year round. A commuter mainly notices a firmer, more direct pedal; the larger benefit shows up during repeated hard stops on a track.

Description

J’s Racing SUS Brake Lines for GD1 / GD3 Honda Fit with Rear Drum Brakes

J’s Racing’s SUS Brake Lines for GD1 and GD3 Fits replace the factory rubber hoses on cars with rear drum brakes, curing the long, soft pedal that appears once the fluid gets hot. Each line pairs an aircraft-derived PTFE inner hose with a stainless mesh braid and a clear outer coat, and the fittings are SUS stainless steel so they resist rust over years of use. The Osaka Honda specialist calls brake lines an essential first step in brake tuning. The set makes the most sense on a GD Fit that sees autocross, track days or fast mountain roads; a car that only commutes will feel the firmer pedal but needs it less.

Construction

Rubber hoses swell when hot fluid and high line pressure act on them, which turns the pedal deep and spongy. The PTFE hose here was developed for aircraft use, and the stainless mesh keeps it from expanding even when hot and loaded. J’s Racing pressure tests every single hose for leaks before shipping and reports that the design has proven its durability in motorsport.

Features

PTFE inner hose wrapped in stainless steel mesh to resist expansion under heat and pressure
Clear protective outer coat over the braid
SUS stainless steel fittings chosen for rust resistance and long service life
Each hose individually pressure tested for leaks before it ships
J’s Racing reports better control when ABS or brake assist steps in

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.
