Braided brake line difference
« on: February 26, 2015, 05:23:52 pm »
If I upgrade my discs and pads to Brembo and upgrade to braided brake lines will I notice much difference?

Discs and pads alone, a small amount. You'll notice the brakes feel a little firmer and more responsive if you run stainless steel lines instead of the rubber OEM ones. Don't expect a world of difference, but a subtle change in feel. :happy2:

i felt a slight difference with the pads and discs. brake pedal felt firmer and more responsive. not a massive difference but certainly more comfidence with them. feels better to drive with them. or brake should i say  :signLOL:

If you do upgrade to braided brake lines how to you crimp them when changing a caliper like you would with the OEM rubber ones?

Having only seen the picture of the new ones I assumed the calipers would be threaded. U screw the old and screw in the new. Top up and bleed?
