Yes massive. Especially as I'm running mine as a dedicated track car. Brakes are the most important part of anything fast :hurr:

Truee, but surely .. well.. pipe is pipe haha

Cooling maybe?

nope its stronger so less flex in the pipe when you press the pedal means you get more feel from the brakes

They make a big diff. especially on a motorcycle. Try Hampshire Hose Crosshouse Ind. Est. Southampton Ask for Scott Broomfield, I think he's still there. I'll look up exact address if you need it.

Big job tho to do brake lines i thought

Especially for some extra feel and im guessing minor increased brake response

Look on YouTube hel do tests between stock and braided. The stoping distance is also decreased. Not a big job no, just req bleeding the brakes again after fitting.
