May i ask wats d point of changing to steel type when stock is already gd enuff.. Might as well change d whole braking system to aftermarket brands.. Juz my point of view Stock hose made from rubber, as time goes hose will expand due to hot brake fluid with constant braking. You will feel that you will have to depress your brake pedal more. With steel hose upgrade, braking will remain consistent and steel less likely to expand more than rubber. No need to change to bigger brake pods, our 4disc brake system is already good enough, steel hose n better brake pads should suffice. Unless u cheong alot, brake alot, j turn alot... Then upgrade whole system for a better piece of mine.

Say is easy but change whole system also must consider cost, whether calliper need to do modification (safety) and also might need to buy need rims with offset to fit the brake system.

Hmmm, saw the 'incident' Kiaboi had in other forum.
Normally SSBH should not have this issue. First time JC says they encounter, meaning the installation is not proper?
Btw, JC SSBH is cut to measure type not those factory made fixed length SSBH.
I not pointing fingers but did WS ensure all hose is clamp to the ring properly and hose is fitting round ths suspension properly?
Not sure what JC going to explain this.

Bro dllatimer, All the 6 hoses are clamped to the ring properly, just that both the hoses just exploded in the mid section. Partly also my fault that after the installation 6 months ago I can still recalled that I did not let the boss test drive before I left the place. Not convenient to post pic here, if need to see the pic let me know I pm u. Anyway the hoses are in my boot, during MU if wana see just show to u oso can. I think is one in the million deflect case, and I'm the sucker for that batch..... so far I'm the first one in history that encounter this.... Maybe stock rubber hose able to withstand the braking pressure psi cos can able to expand (but long term will be inconsistent in braking), and steel hose, imo doesn't have tolerance to psi built up thus no where to let go only piang at the weakest part, the inner rubber hosing surrounded by steelnet.... So been there done that, what I can advice to others is that dun be like me backside itchy go change this and that, end of the day anything happen you will have to bear the cost and the trouble cum inconvenience caused. I still keeping my stock rubber hose just in case if there's any need, I will just revert back to stock. Right now still using the SSBH (replaced ones of cos). Been 3 days of drive... so far so good... never try ebrake again tho.. Another setback is that when accidents happen due to this incident, insurance dun cover as this is not stock... so another stir... claim thru the WS? (another pain in the a _ _). So as to advice drivers here, stock hose is already good enuff, use better brake pads.... If you really have the Ohmp (sudden $ windfall, tio toto, bigsweep).... no need to change to bigger brake pods, brake system, rims off setting.... Just change your ride to better ones. Drive safe. Peace.

one thing abt SSBH is that its too rigid... for rubber hoses at least it wont explode... if wear out, it will only crack, which can be spotted and rectified during brake servicing at workshops.
