I suppose so, especially if your car is lowered to the deck, has non standard exhaust, HID that blinds other road users, big 20" rims with FATT 265 rear tyres, air filter mods, turbo boosted to the max, non standard blow off valve that exit into the air, LED brake lights, midnight black tinted windows, talking on the mobile and smoking will also not cover you with insurance. So at the end of the day, you shouldn't be tailgating anyway.hahaha

There was someone from up here in QLD that brought a set of braided lines from the U.S. a year or so back. Not sure of the brand, one blew apart on him, so he ripped them all out. Just be careful, or just get the Maltech ones, cant go wrong then.

The other option is to go to ENZED. The can make you a set of braided brake lines to suit, they are fully road legal,(W.A is, not sure of other states) and pressure tested before installation. Cheaper than the Maltech ones too.

Hmm braided lines blowing apart!!!Fark me. Sounds like either a manufacturing fault which does happens or incorrect installation.
Most after market braid lines can easily withstand 3-4000 PSI of pressure without issues - ie blow up.
You'll be lucky if a stock brake system can output pressure of 1200 PSI when you stomp on the brakes HARD. A Porsche GT3 brake system might output 1600 PSI.
So to blow up a non faulty braided lines would be near impossible.
Oh all aftermarket brake line does not have the stock locating pins on the banjo fitting. You need to make sure that the orientation of the aftermaket lines are the same as the old lines else the lines might get damage when you do a full lock.
