OK lets clear up some myths in regards to ADR approved lines.

The old ADR 7 meant that all braided lines had to pass a whip test.. and without the ADR approved sheaths over the line near the end fittings, they would not be ADR approved.

This is now OBSOLETE.

The new regulation is..

ADR 42 - General Safety Requirements
The function of this Australian Design Rule is to specify design and construction requirements to ensure safe operation of vehicles.
Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 42/04 ?
General Safety Requirements) 2005
Compilation: 1 (up to and including Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule
42/04 ? General Safety Requirements) 2005 Amendment 1)
Compilation Date: 12th October 2007
Compiled by: Vehicle Safety Standards, Department of Transport and Regional
Services

15. BRAKE TUBING AND BRAKE HOSE
Flexible hydraulic brake hoses, air or vacuum brake tubing and air and
vacuum hose, flexible and hydraulic power hose between the Brake
Power Unit 31/00 or Brake Power Unit 35/00 and the master cylinder
or its equivalent must conform to SAA, SAE, BS, JIS, DIN, ISO or ECE
Standards specified for flexible brake hoses, air brake tubing or hose or
vacuum brake tubing or hose or hydraulic power tubing or hose and be
fitted to the vehicle as to prevent chafing, kinking or other mechanical
damage under normal motion of the parts to which they are attached.

So basically, anything which comes from one of the reputable manufacturers i.e. Goodridge, AP, etc, will be ADR approved. I cannot speak for any other manufacturer unless they specify that they are built to one of the above standards.

To simplify it.. any braided line must fall under one of the other world standards to be ADR approved.

Good info Joe and thanks for putting it up, maybe put a sticky for it in the "Mechanicals section".

CJ-Motors over east sells these and says that they are definitely ADR compliant, however as previously said once they arrive they will be inspected and then confirmed whether there are or aren't compliant.

Also on the STi OZ site for parts where they have the braided lines it states that all products meets the ADR standards.

These were more aimed at people who do track work and don't really care about ADR's etc than just your average daily driver.

So once they arrive I will check if they have any of the compliances Joe put up and go from there.

ADR Compliant is probably more likely in light of Joe's post

There's a good chance they will have one of the compliances if other reputable retailers are selling them!

Can you source HKS lowered seat rails?

I know there are places that can, just works out easier for me if a local vendor does it
