To braided, or not to braided?

[HoneyBadger]

Hi Guys,

Pretty much got my purchases for brakes sorted (massive thank you to George/G172, he is an absolute gent and gave me some great advice).

What i need is some experience from those with Goodridge braided hoses. All the discs and pads are coming off to get replaced and given a good cleaning, while i'm at it i'm debating whether to bung some braided hoses on there.

I've been told that they can make the brakes feel a bit on/off... so opinions please!

I'm not tracking the car, only for road/fast road use; so I need to not go through the windscreen/get rear ended when I'm stopping in traffic.

Cheers guys.

What condition are your hoses in?

Good = leave them be
Poor = replace and might as well go braided as they are better imo, more consistent pedal feel.

I would fit braided hoses at the same time as upgrading everything else if it was me.

I would (and have) fit them, there isn't a huge difference, but they wont bulge and you can fit and forget.
