• Eliminates soft, sponge-like braking and delivers consistent performance:  Standard rubber brake hoses can expand under pressure during harsh braking, leading to a soft and unpredictable pedal feel. In contrast, HEL braided brake hoses feature a durable 3-layer construction that withstands extreme pressures and temperatures, ensuring superior braking response, modulation, and control. While standard rubber hoses last about 5 years, HEL replacements offer a lifetime of reliability at a similar price.
• Unrivalled durability and abrasion resistance: HEL manufactures all brake hose fittings from high-quality 303/304 stainless steel. The robust PTFE inner core provides exceptional chemical resistance and extreme temperature tolerance, preventing perishing or cracking over time. Reinforced by a high-strength stainless steel overbraid, the hose is further protected against wear. A wipe-clean PVC cover finishes the hose, safeguarding body panels and paint from scratches.

• HEL's unique, trend-setting hose fitting and ferrule design: HEL’s brake line fittings feature a unique internal multi-groove design that creates dual-purpose sealing o-rings during assembly. This design allows for free and secure rotation of the fittings post-hydraulic swaging, maintaining hose integrity while enabling precise fitment adjustments. The internally located locking groove on the hose ferrule aligns with the fitting, ensuring a secure connection that prevents detachment.

The E46 chassis has a front suspension design that allows for high angle clearance, the perfect steering rack location and easy to work on suspension. Its one downside is the fragile single shear subframe mount, but the Subframe Angle Kit brace strengthens this mount!

Angle kits have extended control arms, which increase the leverage on the mount and can cause failures in the subframe and in the ball joint stud. Using this brace creates a double-shear mount, tripling the strength of the mounting area and preventing fatigue from occurring. So, even in the event of an accident, this brace will help focus the energy on the suspension arms instead of on the subframe. 

Key Features: 

• Durable & Reliable: The brace triples the strength of the mounting area. 
• Protection: During an accident, the brace directs the energy on the suspension arms instead of the subframe. 
• Compatibility: Fits SLR, Wisefab and FDF angle kits. 

Note: This brace does not work with any factory control arms or any angle kits that use factory ball joints.
