Stainless brake lines
« on: December 24, 2011, 03:23:38 PM »
any one fitted stainless braided lines to there agp ?
big difference?

my brakes are crud, great inital bite but then not a lot after and fade alot, just got some front pads to put in but was wondering what peoples opinions where

i have some braided lines on my saxo with GTI6 brakes that only just fit under the 14" wheels (like 2mm of clearance ;p) and they made a huge change in the feel but that dosn't have abs so not sure if it would make the same amount of difference

I fitted Goodridge stainless hoses to mine, improved the feel of the brakes hugely even when using standard Dot 4 fluid.
