I used to have a Civic that I was able to put steel-braided brake lines on and hot damn did you feel the difference. Plus I wanted more protection from all the crap you find flying around in the desert.

I now have a 2019 Forester and have been searching for a brake line upgrade. Anyone know if the brake lines from a 2018 Forester would fit on a 2019 or do I have to look to the pain of making my own?

This is the parts search on the Subaru parts site for a 2019 Base model front brake hose. You can see, by expanding the dropdown menu, the models that Subaru says the hose will work on.

Just don't buy the Amazon look alike hoses. The kits for proper hose replacement cost on the other side of $100 USD. Like has been said, don't buy them unless they are DOT approved.

You are more likely to use your brakes if they look good.

The topic is braided steel brake lines on Foresters.

To be frank, it's about lines for a 2019 Forester. At least that's the question. The OP doesn't need convinced. Have you got a definitive answer for the OP in his question?
