HEL brake lines

[rjc]

Hi All

Looking for some advice or thoughts, new discs and pads are going on the car next week. Is it worth at the same time fitting a set of HEL braided brake hoses and ATE super blue brake fluid, if so what advantages would be gained and would it make a noticeable difference in the feel of the brakes.

Any thoughts or ideas welcome

Unless you're doing track days I doubt changing the fluid will make much difference.

No experience of braided hoses on cars. On bikes they sometimes make the brakes feel a bit stronger but a bit more wooden.

I may be wrong, but I think the OEM ones are already braided in the rubber with kevlar strands or similar.

As noted in #3, all flexible brake lines are steel braided. The advantage of the type mentioned in #1 is that in a motorsport situation, they can/could/some are field serviceable/adjustable. So folk think they are performance adder, bit like coil overs?
