Yep. Although the system is full, there's still greater volume in the system, which means you're moving more mass, which means it will take more energy (force) to move it by the same amount. The fluid will also flow more slowly through the system?

How much difference it will make I have no idea - it will either be unnoticeable because we're not taking a massive amount of extra mass (absolute), or it could be noticeable because we are taking about quite an increase in mass (proportionately)?

I will report back when its all intalled

Because I will be running all braided lines it will definitely be a little more spongy due to binding, especially since it will be about a meter longer from the ms to pv

I dont think it will make a huge difference but i have a theory, if I upgrade my discs and calipers to to say.. 230 and 2 or 4 pots im sure I can get that oem feel back?
I can only experiment I guess but we all know it cant be worse putting braided all round with bigger discs and calipers

After all, they are perfomance upgrades

How long to you recommend to make the two ms/pv lines though?

3meters?

I suppose I can mark up where im going to mount the prop vale and run a bit of rope round tillbim satisfied?

Can someone kindly post a pic of where their prop valve is mounted please?

Ask @106pete, he has all round braided lines.

My bias valve is mounted next to the gearstick, passenger side.

I can't remember what lengths I used but its quite abit 3-4m all the fittings and t pieces in stainless add up to alot of money iirc £250? Don't skimp on the stainless if its outside, the plated stuff doesn't last very long.

Anything else just ask mate
