Stoptech Stainless Steel Front Brake Lines
2004–2006 Scion xA
950.44012
Overview:
Stoptech Stainless Steel Front Brake Lines are engineered specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xA, delivering a significant upgrade over the factory rubber brake lines. Designed for drivers seeking improved braking performance and pedal feel, these brake lines reduce the delay between pedal application and actual deceleration. By eliminating the expansion common in stock rubber lines, Stoptech brake lines provide a firmer, more responsive brake pedal, enhancing driver confidence and control under all driving conditions.
Ideal for enthusiasts who demand precision braking for street driving or spirited performance, these brake lines help maintain consistent brake pressure and modulation, resulting in a safer and more predictable braking experience.
Key Features:
Stoptech stainless steel brake lines combine advanced materials and construction techniques to deliver superior performance and durability. Key features include:
- Stainless steel braided outer layer for exceptional strength and abrasion resistance
- Teflon inner tube that resists expansion and degradation from brake fluid exposure
- Clear abrasion-resistant cover to protect against chafing and incidental damage
- Improved pedal feel with reduced brake line expansion under pressure
- Faster brake response time for enhanced safety and control
- DOT compliant and pressure tested to 4500 psi for reliability and safety
- Direct fitment for 2004–2006 Scion xA front brake system (does not fit xB models)
Construction & Design:
Each Stoptech brake line features a high-quality Teflon inner tube that is highly resistant to expansion and chemical degradation from brake fluid, ensuring consistent hydraulic pressure during braking. Surrounding the Teflon core is a tightly woven stainless steel braid that provides structural support and protects the inner tube from abrasion and impact damage. This braided layer also prevents the line from swelling under pressure, which is a common issue with OEM rubber lines.
To further enhance durability, a clear abrasion-resistant cover shields the stainless steel braid from chafing and environmental wear. The combination of these materials results in a brake line that is both flexible for easy installation and robust enough to withstand demanding driving conditions.
Performance & Sound
By minimizing brake line expansion, Stoptech stainless steel lines deliver a more immediate and consistent brake pedal feel. This translates to quicker brake response times and improved modulation, allowing drivers to apply precise braking force with confidence. While these brake lines do not affect engine or exhaust sound, the enhanced pedal feedback contributes to a more connected and engaging driving experience.
Installation & Fitment:
Stoptech stainless steel front brake lines are designed as a direct replacement for the factory front brake lines on the 2004–2006 Scion xA. Installation requires no modifications to the vehicle’s brake system or mounting points. The lines come pre-assembled with OEM-style fittings to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. Basic hand tools and standard brake line installation procedures are sufficient for installation, making this an accessible upgrade for experienced DIYers or professional installers.
