Aston Martin Vantage AM6 Braide Brake Line Kit (2018-2023)

Developed exclusively in partnership with HEL Performance, this premium braided brake line kit has been engineered specifically for the 2018–2023 Aston Martin Vantage V8 and is available exclusively through Valiant Ecosse and our distributors.

While the factory rubber brake hoses perform adequately under normal road conditions, they remain one of the weakest links in the braking system when temperatures and brake pressures increase. Our HEL braided line kit eliminates this compromise, delivering a firmer pedal, improved consistency, and greater driver confidence in all conditions.

Why Upgrade to Braided Brake Lines?

Improved Brake Pedal Feel

OEM rubber hoses naturally expand under hydraulic pressure. This expansion becomes more pronounced as temperatures rise, resulting in a softer, less precise pedal feel.

HEL stainless steel braided lines virtually eliminate hose expansion, ensuring more of the braking force generated at the pedal is transmitted directly to the calipers. The result is a noticeably firmer, more responsive brake pedal.

Greater Consistency Under Heavy Use

Whether you're driving spiritedly on the road, tackling alpine passes, or enjoying track days, brake system temperatures can rise significantly.

As rubber hoses heat up, they become increasingly flexible, which can contribute to a longer pedal travel and reduced braking confidence. Braided stainless-steel construction maintains its integrity under extreme temperatures, providing a more consistent pedal feel lap after lap and mile after mile.

Enhanced Driver Confidence

A precise brake pedal allows you to better judge available braking force and modulate the brakes more accurately. This translates into improved confidence during aggressive driving, emergency braking situations, and high-speed driving environments.

Increased Durability

Unlike conventional rubber hoses, stainless steel braided lines offer superior resistance to:

• Heat
• Abrasion
• Road debris
• Age-related deterioration
• Moisture ingress

This makes them an excellent long-term upgrade for owners who intend to keep and enjoy their Vantage for years to come.

Ideal for Performance Brake Fluid Upgrades

Braided lines complement high-performance brake fluids perfectly. By reducing hydraulic system expansion, they allow you to fully benefit from the improved temperature resistance and pedal consistency offered by premium brake fluids.

HEL Performance Quality

Each line is manufactured by HEL Performance using PTFE inner hoses surrounded by a stainless-steel braided outer layer and finished with precision-machined fittings. HEL is widely recognised for producing some of the highest-quality motorsport and road brake line systems available.
