Braided Brake Lines?

[blags]

hey guys, im trying to upgrade my brakes a bit for some street/track use, so far ive bought Project Mu type-NS front and rear pads and Project Mu G/FOUR335 Brake Fluid. I am either going to machine the standard rotors or buy dba rotors. My question is, should i buy braided brake lines? will i need them or will the lines i have now be fine?

thanks

its always good to upgrade old rubber brake lines, so or later they will start splitting as they did on my r32 gtr

if you are going to be doing some track work l would recomend braided lines it stops the spongy feel you can get from the rubber lines swelling under heavy brakes. Hope that helps.

thanks, would also like to know if there is any other advantages?

its an advantage if they comply with ADRs

Braided brake lines and a master cylinder stopper will make quite a difference.

How much did you pay for the Project Mu fluid?

The lines you have now will be fine. Braided lines will help give you a better (firmer) pedal feel.

With regard to the ADR compliance issue most imported braided lines do not comply & therefore you can get defected for them. They are in any case available locally from multituudes of shops.

If you are getting the rotors machined check how close they are to the minimum. Under thicknesses or barely legal thickness rotors don't tend to enjoy the whole track experience.
