MX-5 Brake Lines

Your brakes are an essential part of driving, whether you’re looking for a performance or a safety upgrade. Brake lines, in particular, are worth upgrading as these thin, flexible tubes do the important job of transferring hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the caliper pistons, and then from these to the pads and discs.

You can count on a consistent supply of brake fluid thanks to your car’s brake lines, which are typically made of steel or rubber. However, brake lines don’t last forever, so they’ll need changing if they’ve corroded, worn out or become damaged. Otherwise, your brakes might not work when you most need them.

About our MX-5 Brake Line range

At BOFI Racing, we sell various brands of brake lines, including the Hel Performance Braided Brake Lines specifically for the Mazda MX-5 NA and NB. Supplied with new crush washers and a stainless steel junction block, it’s an essential upgrade to anyone with an older MX-5 model who still wants to put it through its paces around a track.

Another stainless steel braided brake line option is the Destroy or Die Extended Front Brake Lines, which are actually extended (40mm) front brake lines. These allso your MX-5’s wheels to turn fully when drifting with increased lock, without pulling on the brake lines.

An important note before you browse our full range of brake lines is the difference between stainless steel brake lines and rubber lines. Steel brake lines will resist expansion and increase pedal feel, as well as being more durable, but will require you to shell out more than standard rubber brake lines. This also means rubber brake lines are cheaper to replace.

Frequently asked questions

What material are brake lines made from?
Standard brake lines are usually made of rubber or a combination of rubber and synthetic materials, but there are also stainless steel braided brake lines. Braided brake lines are the most robust, especially if you push your MX-5 hard, and offer better performance as the material won’t swell like rubber brake lines can.

How can I tell if my brake lines have gone bad?
If you’ve noticed a spongy brake pedal feeling, an illuminated brake warning light or leaking brake fluid — you might be looking at a brake line issue. A brake pedal that sinks all the way to the floor could also indicate a problem with the brake fluid, like a leak in the brake line (or a brake master cylinder issue).
