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

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.
