Braided Brake Lines - Worth the Money?

[M@tt_182]

I'm looking to change my discs and pads next month and I've got some Brembo HC's and DS2500's. My question is shall I also change to braided lines? What's the benefit? I was going to go for some that BTM supply (not sure of brand) but saw a couple of good reviews on here a while ago.

Benefit is better overall braking and solid feel to the pedal. Get some decent fluid in there too ate blue or similar.

Good hoses that btm sell due to them being stainless so won't rust up.

I got some BTM ones and mine got fitted when i done my discs and pads.

While you are there i would deff say its worth while

The pedal feels very spongy at the moment and the brakes are poor. I think the previous owner replaced them with non oem parts and the fade is terrible!

I'll be getting them fitted at BTM so I presume they'll use decent fluid, does ATE Blue just have a higher boiling point than normal fluid?

just bought some ATE very cheap and worth the money, i am also using KTR braided hoses, should make the brakes a lot better.
