TCE SS Brake Line Kit

[Hotwheels]

Hey all,

Am upgrading the Marauder with Powerslot Rotors and Hawk HP Pads. I'm thinking about adding SS brake lines as well. I understand TCE makes a kit that includes everything you need for the front and rear for around $155.

Questions:

Does the kit include everything needed?

Do the SS lines make a difference in braking?

[2,4shofast]

Yes everything is included, it will improve petal feel and stop the brake lines from balloning like the stock lines do. I know someone will chime in with a better explanation but bottom line they are well worth the money.

[musclemerc]

I'm running that exact combination right now. Follow the instructions for the "bedding process" on the brakepads and adjust the bends on the SS lines with all 4 tires on the ground.

When your done it will stop on a dime and the spongy pedal will be a thing of the past. Todd supplies EVERYTHING!

**this is only my opinion**

[massacre]

I got this kit and couldn't be happier. great quality, shipped fast. comes with lines, brackets and clips they all fit great.

[MOTOWN]

ill be ordering a set soon, after installing my r1 concept rotors on the rear i have to get used to the improved braking power, guess ill do the front in a couple weeks

[illwood]

I think I will be ordering the SS brake line kit from TCE because the brakes are on the list to get done this spring/summer.

My current plan is to run the NAPA Reactive One (http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?A=UBPRA880110_0278 321759&An=599001+102004+50046+2046038 ) rotors front & rear with CerameX pads all around.

[Todd TCE]

A couple of them left on Friday. More are headed out this Friday.
Should have more in stock again shortly.

[Dragcity]

I have been sitting on mine for a long time. I need to get this done before this summer, if it ever comes.

[fastblackmerc]

If you can't do the big brake upgrade this is the next best thing for your MM's brakes.

[O's Fan Rich]

Putting a set on the Vic.... they worked great on the MM!

[Hotwheels]

i ordered mine and they arrived a few days ago. They'll get installed in a week or so with the Powerslot Rotors and Hawk HP Pads. Also doing the tune and 4:10s at the same time. Can't wait

[cpe6]

Did the BBK front and rear, just waiting for Todd to get it done and send the kits to Dennis so my MM can head on the way home back to Chicago. Its been verified that the $$$ was well spent.

[cpe6]

Todd did Dennis place the order?

[Todd TCE]

Seems a few kits may have been inadvertently sent out without the retaining clips to secure the hose end to the bracket. They are not noted on the 'parts list' with the kits.

Locally any NAPA has them under pn 80742 for about a buck each.

If you cannot find them or not in a hurry just let me know and I'll mail you four of them.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll change the sheet also....

[NJ FIRE]

Todd any idea when the ss brake kits are coming in? I ordered one online and received an email it could be couple of weeks. Thanks Dave

[Todd TCE]

A few variables here....but I don't see any hose kits shipping out until roughly the 29-30th of the month.

I have more brackets being cut and when I get them they need to be plated.
Hoses won't be here until the 28th.

And I'm out for a race week from the 21st to the 27th. http://www.climbtotheclouds.com/

[Todd TCE]

UPDATE:

Brackets not received here yet. Front hoses I have, rears coming. Looks like a while longer....when done I think there will be a total of 8 kits.

[Mercguy04]

The Kit will still be $155. Right? Oh and is that shipped or plus shipping?
Thanks
Russell

[Todd TCE]

Same $155 to the door. (US)

I'm trying... please be patient.

[fastblackmerc]

The wait will be worth it.

[MOTOWN]

yes the ss brake lines are an excellent mod!

[Todd TCE]

Brackets dropped off to be plated today. Front hoses on the way.

Should be up and running again on Monday. Tuesday at the latest.

[Granite]

just ordered my kit, can't wait to put it on!

[Todd TCE]

Brackets will be plated the end of today. Picking them up in the morning and shipping out a couple of sets to those who have patiently been waiting!

[fastblackmerc]

You guys will love the increased braking feel.

[MOTOWN]

You guys will love the increased braking feel.

+1 they realy make a big difference;)

[Mercguy04]

Good Morning,
I have SS on my Caddy, ImpalaSS, and custom made for my AMX, NOW I would like to order a set for the MM. I had a set a while back but didn’t have a car at the time so I sold then to an other member. I thought he needed then more than I did at the time
I see he is still in the process. No problem, I was glad to help out.
Now I need a set. Now Hello Todd.

I'd go to his website to order them......

http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/marauder/kits-17/

[Todd TCE]

I believe the count is now four sets leaving today.

[Mercguy04]

Thanks Todd,
Very fast service and shipping.
Good Man.
Russell

[Todd TCE]

You're quite welcome.

Four left today...two from yesterday and a couple guys on hold from the past few weeks. I think we're up to date again finally.

[SID210SA]

Todd....are the brackets necessary or can you use the ones holding the old hoses?

[SID210SA]

Just ordered mine...great talking to you Todd....

[Todd TCE]

No sweat. I think you'll be better served with using my supplied brackets then trying to remove them from the oe hose ends.

I don't think the stock brackets will come off.

[SID210SA]

Wow Todd....that is some fast shipping....just got my tracking confirmation and it will be here on Friday!

[Todd TCE]

Gotta luv the postal priority mail flat rate envelope. Will require sig however, might have to leave the sticky for the next day.

[SID210SA]

Todd,

Got my SS line kit today!! Thanks for fast service!!

You got them here faster than they will be put on :D

[Todd TCE]

It's not so bad....couple of hours perhaps! You can do one hose at a time and slowly bleed it out and then move to the next. Being a four line system you don't have to do it in any order or spec. thx!

[dohc324ci]

How did I miss this thread? I need to get this done. I really hate how mushy the pedal feel is especially after driving the wife's Mustang.

[Ktorres1]

Next and final brake mod for me right here!

[Billy]

One of these kits is absolutely on my Christmas list.

[Todd TCE]

I'll have a few more sets of these on the shelf for the coming Holiday season....

Just a hint.

[slickster]

Ahhh another mod to be done. My mod/maintenance page looks like a bible

[Todd TCE]

Here to spiritually enlighten your ride.

[Todd TCE]

Four kits on the rack right now. More hoses coming next week I hope....

Make's a nice Christmas present for your car.

These hoses are the next best thing to a big brake kit upgrade.

They will do wonders for your pedal.

[Todd TCE]

Still have a few left...might look good under someone's tree!

[Todd TCE]

Kits still on the hook here. Can make it to you in time for Christmas with ease yet!

HOSE KITS! (http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/marauder/kits-17/)

HOSE KITS! (http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/marauder/kits-17/)

You guys are crazy for not jumping on these hose kits. These are the next best thing to do to the Marauder's brakes. The first is the TCE big brake kit.

[Speed]

These will work on a 2004 Crown Vic LX Sport as well, correct?

[martyo]

Todd, I sent you a PM.

[Gryphonzus]

PM sent for payment of brakes. I did not receive any notification that you were expecting one from me yet. You informed me you were waiting on someone and would inform me when ready.

[Todd TCE]

These will work on a 2004 Crown Vic LX Sport as well, correct?

Best of my knowledge that is correct.

[martyo]

I just ordered a set.

Thanks Todd.

[Todd TCE]

Be on the way today! thx

[martyo]

Be on the way today! thx

Thanks Todd.

It'll be nice to have a little more pedal pressure.

[Captain Dynball]

Thanks Todd.

It'll be nice to have a little more pedal pressure.

I sure hope he has some in January. I put drilled and slotted rotors plus ceramic pads on the Marauder but the pedal is still squishy....could definitely use these!

[martyo]

Consider servicing/replacing your master cylinder.

[Todd TCE]

I sure hope he has some in January.

Right now there are four sets remaining. Can't say how long they will or won't last. Sales have certainly slowed over the past couple of years however so when these are gone it will probably become more of a "once a year" run thing.

[Captain Dynball]

Consider servicing/replacing your master cylinder.

I have been considering that. Was going to wait until I got the SS line kit since I'd have to bleed it anyways.

[Todd TCE]

Shipped out a couple more on Friday. Looks like we're down to 2-3 left total.
Can still make to you by the end of the week if mailed out on Monday!

[martyo]

This past weekend, we installed a set of these on Bill Bandy's car and he loved them.

Yesterday we did them on my car and they really increwsed the pedal pressure.

This is one of those "must do" improvements that is well worth the price. The quality of the limes and brackets are top notch!!

If anyone is local to our shop and buys the kit from Todd, we would be happy to do the install for you. Just let me know.

Thanks for hooking me up Todd. Fast shipping, great product. What more can you ask for?

[Todd TCE]

Happy to help and glad to hear things went well!

[RacerX]

just ordered mine! :beer:

[Todd TCE]

The hook is empty.

Be a few more weeks now and I'll make up another 5-6 complete sets. Need to run some mounting brackets and order more hoses again.

[justgod]

Are you telling me that nub just got the last one??? You're back Friday I see... Thank you.

[Todd TCE]

Not sure who got it...one to ship on Friday from the other day and that should be all I have now.

[martyo]

These are a must do mod!

[risky]

I'll be ordering mine soooon

[Roadwarrior]

Todd TCE, any updates on the inventory of the SS brake line kits for the Marauder?

[Todd TCE]

I shipped a couple of them today. Waiting on hoses again...sorry. Expect to have items here for another five kits by Friday.

[Roadwarrior]

Thanks Todd, will check back later.

[screamn]

I shipped a couple of them today. Waiting on hoses again...sorry. Expect to have items here for another five kits by Friday.

I'm interested in a kit.

PM sent.

[Todd TCE]

Should have a few more 4 line kits available this week to ship on Saturday.

[screamn]

Please keep us posted as to when they arrive, as I plan on purchasing a kit from you.

Thanks again!

[screamn]

Todd:

Did the kits arrive and are they available for shipping?

[screamn]

Todd sent you a PM also.

[Todd TCE]

On hold until the end of the week.

[O's Fan Rich]

On hold until the end of the week.

Todd... I need to buy one rear hose.

[Todd TCE]

Todd... I need to buy one rear hose.

I can do that. $27 to the door. PP me with the address. Ship it on Friday.

[O's Fan Rich]

I can do that. $27 to the door. PP me with the address. Ship it on Friday.

Ok. Todd. what paypal address do I use for you?

[Todd TCE]

Thanks for the orders guys.

Hose kits can be purchased via PP check out right off the Marauder page (http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/marauder/kits-17/) on the TCE site.

I fully hope to get these out the end of the week finally. Hope...supplier is start to irritate me a bit...!

[92BlackGT]

just ordered a set. looking forward to getting them

[Todd TCE]

Gentlemen....three or four of you have ordered and paid for kits. I should not have any issues filling those orders the end of the week.

Once done with those I'll again let it be known how many more are available for those who may be 'wavering' some.

I wish I knew what was coming yet but right now I don't. I usually run these in batches of 6-8 at a time.

[Todd TCE]

SHIPPED:

Scarboro
Witte
Siegel
Brawley
Robaina

I think that's everyone as of now.

[Todd TCE]

There are currently two more complete kits available.

Might be able to come up with a couple more within a week or so...then I'm out of brackets again.

Anyone who wants one, had best move pretty quickly.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Just ordered:banana:

[Todd TCE]

And now...one remaining this round.

[Siege]

Got mine this afternoon. Thanks Todd!

[Todd TCE]

Gotta couple of you guys on hold until mid week.

Mottaz
Roark



*And yes the price went up a couple of bucks due to shipping costs; both incoming and outgoing. Just tried to recouple the increases is all.

[SNOOT]

Add me just sent payment by paypal Lance Eggers...

[SNOOT]

Got the brake line kit today thank you very much!

[slickster]

Waiting for my set to come in so I can install slot and vented rotors and hawk pads:D

[Todd TCE]

All the kits on file have been shipped. Incl Lance and the one from earlier today.

If anyone feels left out after a couple of days please let me know so I can cross check inf. (I'll need your real name though...not "marauder mama from the forum" please)

[Todd TCE]

Hoses for five more kits arrived on Friday. I have more brackets to bend up tomorrow and get plated.

Should be up and running for more orders by Wed.

[dohc324ci]

That's good to know gonna have order a set.

[SNOOT]

Todd the kit was a breeze to install. Thanks again!!

[Todd TCE]

Cool.
Yes, they're not terribly difficult to do.

[slickster]

Todd the kit was a breeze to install. Thanks again!!

Yep jacking the car and removing the tires was more time consuming and harder

[martyo]

Todd, I just sent you a PM.

Let me know.

Thanks!

[fastblackmerc]

Todd the kit was a breeze to install. Thanks again!!

Once you have the lines and tires installed, check to see that the lines are not rubbing on anything.

[Todd TCE]

Line placement or the "lay of the hose" should always be verified and adjusted with the car on the ground also. Doing so in droop, up in the air, is not where they end up on the road.

[Black&Gifted]

Hi,

Are there any kits still available? PayPal armed.

Thanks

[Todd TCE]

I have about 6 of them ready except for the brackets right now. Hope to pick up those today or tomorrow at the plating ship. There are a couple folks in line right now who will get the first ones leaving 3-4 more ready for someone.

[HD4]

Just placed an order with PayPal.
Thanks!

[Odinson]

Hi
Just ordered the lines. Thanks!

Gunna try to paint, swap lines, and drop in new rotors and pads in one sitting. It should look clean but still look feasibly stock. Nice and sleepy. :)

Now to negotiate a day with the wife. Birthday's coming up.

[Todd TCE]

I'll post up last names and such when the ship so check back. Thanks!

[Todd TCE]

Three kits left today. (you got email notices) and looks like one more tomorrow.

[rlbforum]

Just placed order for myself.

Thanks for supporting the community!

[JBeezy]

Is it possible to get just front lines?

[Todd TCE]

Right now; no. All kit are finally balanced out and bagged again. Next time I put up a post about another run please remind me.

[Todd TCE]

See 112 above.

Sorry. I was thinking that was pertaining to some type of discount. Sorry

[Todd TCE]

Sorry. I was thinking that was pertaining to some type of discount. Sorry

No sweat, just being lazy about quotes for some reason. Try back in a couple of months when these are gone again.

[martyo]

Thanks for letting me know that the set that I ordered for a customer are on the way!

For those of you looking for just fronts get the whole kit. They are a very worthy mod and very worth the money!!!

[Todd TCE]

See now that's odd. I shipped all these on the same day and Mike says he didn't get a USPS notice. There were three of them and some other stuff went out. I dunno.


FWIW; for those on the fence about other things I have a full run of rear iron hats on my shelf that just need a home on 13" rear kits. Let's talk.

[92BlackGT]

got the lines installed 2 weeks ago and i'm loving them. pedal feel is a lot better. thanks for a great product

i love supporting an AZ company. GO D-Backs!!

[Todd TCE]

Should be some more hoses arriving tomorrow to fill some back orders. Stand by.

[Accumulator]

Todd TCE- Thanks for the update, mine is the set ordered 4/30 via PayPal.

[Accumulator]

Todd TCE- Got 'em yesterday, thanks!

Now I just have to see if they'll work on the car in question- an '08 P71 with the skid-control (I just found out that those might use different brakelines than the regular post-'03 panthers).

[Todd TCE]

Got an order for Bret here...hoping to get it out early next week. Ran through the last four kits in no time again.

[Bradley G]

Start some more kits Todd!, finally my turn to get one!
I'm putting the big kit on the radar too

[Todd TCE]

Currently there is one bag hanging on the wall.

Paul beats Brian by about 2hrs! lol

Don't worry; more in the works. Again.

[dohc324ci]

What Paul you suck...lol no worries I've waited this long with the dreaded mushy brake pedal. I just can't go from the wife's mustang then back to the marauder...it's night and day.

[capt512]

Im seriously interest when the next kit gets done as well. :)

[tallpaul]

Sorry about that Brian.

[dohc324ci]

Finally able to swing by the post office to pick the lines up! Looks like quality pieces can't wait to install them.

[Todd TCE]

I'm sorry if the "signature required" is an inconvenience to folks. But after issues with lost or non delivered packages over the years I just won't ship anything with out a confirmation any longer.

The customer is upset the parts don't arrive, the PO says it's delivered, and guess who gets stuck holding the back on the replacements? One lone f-up can wipe out the profits of ten other sales....sucks but that's the way of the world today I guess.

[dohc324ci]

No worries, I'd rather have a small inconvenience and know ill recieve it than have to dispute with the post office and you ugh...

[dohc324ci]

Put in the stainless steel lines, flushed and bled the brakes today. Test drove and mushy brakes are now a thing of the past! Much better peddle pressure and feel. Great product highly recommend this mod.

I agree. Nice bracket, good length, comes with a new fluid bolt and 2 copper washers for each side. I had a problem with a KVR line rubbing on the drivers side but not these. They are perfect.

[Todd TCE]

SIX more kits available now.

[capt512]

placed my order :)

[Todd TCE]

Make it FIVE left...

thx

[Todd TCE]

FOUR left.

[babbage]

bump for a really good kit.

[GetMeMyStogie]

I just put in an order for one kit :)

[Todd TCE]

And that order has cleared the shelf of all hose kits in stock as of now.

Next batch looks to be mid July. I'll be out of town the 30th through the 10th for Pikes Peak then headed to Ohio for a Ford Driving Skills for Life program (work) for a week. Then back to CO to pick up the race car and tow home. Should be in the shop, parts in hand on the 19th.

Here's some testing from a week or so ago:

I'm in for a set when ya get back! Have fun at "Work" LOL!

[Todd TCE]

Due to the current postponement of Pikes Peak I'll be in the shop all week. But still out next weekend off for some Ford program work for a week.

Pikes Peak will be rescheduled but not sure when until early this week.

Should have some kits in hand by mid week. One is sold already so feel free to put in the orders.

[IwantmyMMnow!]

I would like a set...is the price still $155? I'll be able to pay by the end of this week...waiting for my rent check from my property mgr; was mailed yesterday, so should get it tomorrow or Friday.

Thanks for the heads up...

Done and on the way. thx

Done and on the way. thx

Yes...I received an email stating this...thanks for everything and enjoy your trip!

[Todd TCE]

SIX kits on the hook at this time.

[BCMARAUDING]

I'm in, before I order those lines work with any break/rotor kit?

[Todd TCE]

As long as you have stock calipers (or Baers I hear) the hoses don't know what brand of rotors you have.

[Todd TCE]

A couple of you are waiting on the next run of SS hose kits...I should have hoses back in stock once again on Thursday. They'll ship the same day!

[Todd TCE]

Having filled those last orders...I now have hoses but am waiting on plating to finish up the brackets. I know...not one thing it's another. But that's how it goes.

My plating shop used for 20yrs has closed its doors. At least for the time being pending a new owner we all hope. That means the other, seldom used shop, is back logged a bit. Hope they have my stuff done early this week.

A couple of you ordered hose kits last week. They'll ship as quickly as I can get these! Thanks.

[Todd TCE]

Five kits on the hook again now.

[Todd TCE]

Still have five sets on the wall...makes a great Christmas gift to for your car!
