is it worth getting a braided line kit? its in the supercheap catalogue.....they look good i guess but would it improve anything? btw i might have a faulty fuel line so might come in handy.

braided brake lines make sence as they actualy do have a sloght advantage of running them... usualy a firmer brake pedal.. tends not to expand as much as rubber hoses for the brakes... i di have the braided hoses in my engine bay... ended up looking a lil gay n was told theyre not great to have as they tend to trap the heat in the hoses a lil longer on cooldown.. each to theyre owb though... if done right they can look allright if youve got the mumbo to back the look ip :wink:

Yeah i saw that braided kt. It is just like a sleeve for your engine hoses etc. All it does is dress the engine bay up.
Got nothing to do with brake lines as far as i can see.
