Hey all, on my car im thinkin of doing my own brake lines with braided lines, So from the booster all the way to the caliper but im not too sure if it would work? can anyone tell me? Would the hose flex too much and loose performance? Cheers

For off road use only right? Braided Teflon hose works well. I have done it for the odd track car and off road buggy. I will not recommend it for a street car as it needs to meet ADR compliance etc etc for insurance reasons. Its the kind of thing you modify have an accident and go to gaol for. Generally the hardlines you have in the car a more than adequate, the last section of rubber though can be replaced. It won't give greater brake performance but you will have a stiffer pedal feel.
