Default Braided brake lines link any1 ?

Hi all

I want to replace the flexi brake pipes for braided items when I'm doing the work on my car next weekend as these will help stiffen the brakes a little more and look nice aswell

I allready have a brakestopper on allready

Anybody got any links and of course the best price

Checked eBay and they go for £50 on there cheapest I could find on hel ones

Thanks all in advance need these by next Thursday not sure on colour either

I've got Hel lines on my car, bought at a bargain price on a Christmas promo. Goodridge are nice and i think scoobyworx do their own and you get a forum discount. Don't forget as performance too.

Looks like these are the cheapest deal do far but I'm going to give as performance a ring on Monday just to make sure if it's the best deal I can get

A defo must mate improves the braking feel by night and day

My abs kicked in all the time when not wanted under hard braking before I put the tegiwa brakestopper on

For the sake of £80, it's a worthy investment mate.

Don't think so, but I split the standard one at totb, got a replacement temporarily, but then upgraded with a braided one as stock ones will split over time if pushing on as they are only a crap rubber.
More for making it last without splitting

Zany just go to your local hydraulic supplier and get some made up or just buy the stainless lines and fittings off them and make them up yourself much cheaper and you will have the satisfaction that you made your own
