Good choice mate, I put braided on my 5th gen, what a difference, it's worth updating your brake fluid too that makes them better when they get hot.

Have a look on the net for Goodridge or HEL braised hoses. Get ones with stainless connectors

Replacing the old oem ones with braided lines will improve brake pedal feel as they wont bulge or swell the way old oem ones can do - it should also improve brake response time in other words you step on the brake and the caliper will work quicker. Braided lines also look a bit smarter. If ive got time this weekend im going to fit the goodrich brake lines that i have. I think the goodrich lines are slightly easier to fit as i remember Indegolemon fitted HEL lines and there was one less bracket or something on them than on the OEM ones - not a major issue and the HEL lines did look good once they were on.
