HEL braided lines for standard OE set up?

(1/2) > >>

Hi all

Just wondered is it going to make a difference to change the lines to HEL braided lines on a standard OE set up? I've just recently put new brembo discs and pads all round and just wondered if this would make any more of a difference?

Thanks

It improves the pedal feel is the best way to describe it - a bit more direct connection to the brake if you get what I mean. It doesn't really make the stoppers work better, just makes them feel better, though as a consequence of changing your lines you will also be renewing the fluid which is always worth it!

I fitted them to my old standard MK4 R32 and didn't notice anything!

The OEM lines are Kevlar reinforced apparently, so hardly surprising the difference is minimal.

I found that it improved the pedal feel noticeably. It brought more of the braking performance to the top of the pedal travel. Definitely recommended  :happy2:

That doesn't make sense. I don't think braided lines make that much difference tbh.

R8 V10 has rubber hoses, I'm sure the brakes work ok  :signLOL:
