Default braided hoses

Ok guys so since buying the wagon the only thing im not impressed with is the brakes.
I dont have a huge amount of money to upgrade to better discs and pads and the brakes on the car are only a few months old.

So the question is! Is it worth fitting braided hoses in the meantime? Will the make a noticeable difference even with standard brakes? Ta guys

Braided hoses will firm up the pedal slightly , if money is tight , discs and pads and fresh fluid would make a world of difference if you have standard parts fitted now and old fluid

Chris, ian's your man for the parts you need too
HEL lines & 6 grooved discs & kevlar pads & 5.1 fluid has been a great upgrade over original parts for me. Ian did however also overhaul my brakes with s/steel pistons new seal etc etc. ive also just ordered matching rear discs & pads.

he will give you top advice & can help with any questions you have

no im not on comission, just a happy customer!!!
