My car does have braided lines yes, but unless yours are faulty I'd spend that money elsewhere such as refurb rear calipers, an dclean up fronts as that will make a bigger difference.

If those are your discs right after a drive something isn't right. They should have been swept clean and shiny by driving. If it was stood after being wet for a day then its fine. You can tell if discs need changing if they have a lip on the edges. The discs are chamfered at the edge by around 1mm. ...

I would take the pads out and thoroughly clean the calipers. Take of any rust and dirt, especially where the pads sit or touches metal. Re-grease the touch points The rear brakes affect bite more than people realise. I put new seals on my rear calipers and it really helped, but a good clean up is th...

Ah I see. yes they are the inlet manifold gaskets. The OEM ones are a goldish copper colour. Some aftermarket ones are a plain steel type of colour.

My car is also going in this week for a full front and rear suspension refresh, inc front Meyle HD kit.
