Braided Hoses

[MadUsa1]

My trophy's brakes fade pretty badly whenever I get on track, so I'd like to upgrade to braided hoses.

Thing is, I can't quite see where to fit them. Do you remove the hard pipe and rubber hose that connects into the calipers front and rear and use the braided hose instead?

As far as I can tell, there are other sections of the brake lines that have rubber hoses in them, can these be replaced with braided hoses as well?

you just replace the flexi hoses that connect the hard lines to the calipers (ie the flexi bridges the gap) for the front

both rear flexi's are on the passenger side just in front/above the rear beam

on my car the calipers at the front have a hard line going into them, do I replace that hard line section as well? There doesn't seem to be a screw connection from the hard line to the rubber hose.

So at the rear, the lines connecting to the calipers actually remain rubber, is there no way to change those as well?

eh? get pictures

the rear lines are high pressure lines anyway, just change the flexis

Changing to braided lines isn't going to stop fade, is it??

it will help, what cooling/discs/pads/fluid do you have?
