DIY braided brake hose...

this is a considerable cheap DIY to improve ur braking performance... jz buy some cable ties and tie it around the brake hose like this...



reasons are... as u depress the brake pedal, the brake pump transfer the pressure via brake fluid in the brake hose to the brake calipers to clamp on the brake pads to stop the car.... simple physics we learn during secondary right??... but why still wanna tie it with cable ties??... as u brake suddently or brake heavily, the fluid isnt able to transfer the pressure properly to the calipers... under trumendeous pressure, they will find any weak point to expand... brake hose is a good alternative as it is made of thick rubber hose... after many years of usage, it will tends to expand and become spongy... cable ties are there to stop the expansion and thus, transfer the pressure to the calipers smoothly...

of coz, they arent gonna be as good as ProRS and Goodridge steel braided brake hose which offers lifetime waranty... but ProRS cost RM2XX, Goodridge cost RM5XX, and cable ties cost less than RM5....
