In my experience i would say that fitting braided lines are worth it.skywriter wrote:any members change there stock brake lines for braided ss ? if you did was there any real improvement in brakeing. pedal feel. less fade. is this mod worth the expence in your opinion.
They are also not overly expensive.
Re: B7 BRAKE LINES
I changed form OEM to HEL braided all round (£78 delieverd) coupled with a fluid change using ATE Blue and I noticed better pedal feel and firmness.
I would say for the money involved, it's a great upgrade...

Re: B7 BRAKE LINES
I did the same as Neil, hel all round. Tbh I don't feel much difference but maybe I drive like an old lady, I still recommend it if you have the original hoses.
Got mine done at my service where they changed the fluid, came in at 2 hrs labour as they had trouble getting the oem hoses off due to corrosion.

Re: B7 BRAKE LINES
Did you guys have any problems fitting the rears? I was advised against it as the fittings are prone to shearing and requiring new brake pipes to be fitted
Re: B7 BRAKE LINES
I have and can't say I noticed any difference really,but I did it when the car was younger and oe ones were probably tip top condition.I was surprised as I've always had a noticeable improvement on bikes I've upgraded.
