Braided Brake Lines - any real improvement ?
I am about to pump out the old brake fluid and refill, I could at the same time change the flexible hoses. Are the Goodridge and similar hoses really any better ?
I had a look on the Goodridge site: http://www.goodridge.net/uk/pdf/all_...s_v_rubber.pdf Its own figures show a only tiny "bloating" of the standard hoses. It also has a a couple of curves with some unexplained X axis, what is this setup thing ? Has anyone fitted these and noticed a real improvement ? The other side of the same question, has anyone had any trouble unscrewing the original hoses, do they corrode on ? Something we can talk about next week at the JAE ! Regards Arthur

See you next week at the show. I will bring along a set of Goodridge hoses for comparison. The whip test will require boxer shorts!! Joe  [and that only applies to the ladies!!]

I did install SS lines, they are not worth the $$$ in my opinion... they are just safer than the OEM rubber ones

After switching to the SS lines, the brakes are much better and I can tell a real difference. That is all I did because I already had the slotted rotors on the car. Most everyone else who have gone to them love them too. Just my thought.
