Default Brake lines

This might have been discused before, sorry didn't look am in a hurry:

What would you consider to be the best company to use for upgrading my brake lines?

The only one I know is Goodridge.

How much should I be looking to spend (bugly WRX)?

Cheers

Around £50 per pair. Goodridge are fine too.

Cheers Dan, what sort of difference do you think I will see over the standard item?

I have already swapped the front disks over to EBC performance disks and red stuff pads, but currently experiencing major fade if I brake a bit heavier more than once or twice (for example out on twisty country roads).


Hoping to cure that.

Red stuff pads (I think) need to be warmed before they operate correctly. The new discs and pads will also need bedding in for 100-200 miles. That said, braided hoses will give the pedal a firmer feel. I like mine, much better.
