If u are going to run braided brake lines on the street they must have a part number! As a friend has a Datto 1600 Rally car and he gone done by the fuzz...
As for brands:

Do they make much difference? I understand that they should make for more responsive braking as the lines dont flex but i cant belive that it would make all that much difference.

Pedal feel is a bit better, but it's more of a durability thing - rubber hoses don't have the greatest life span, whereas you can literally drive over the top of the Goodridge hose without crushing it.
And yes, they do need a part number for DOT approval - hence going to a reputable motorsport distributor and not some ghetto

Im hoping for better brake feel with braided and better brake fluid.

Just something to be aware of before you dive in is that any brake modifications using components which were not standard options for the vehicle, need an engineers certificate.

Lots of things technically need an engineers certificate, yet most people never bother and never get pulled up on it. Either way it's good to know what you *should* be doing.Originally Posted by No457 Snowy

It leads to me wonder about my old Mk1 GLD... one of the break lines was craked and weeping when I got a pink slip and the mechanic couldn't get a new part from his supplier so had one of the local places make one to spec for him, from memory it was Pirtek, so not a fly by night back yard job, but I would doubt it had a part number... I wonder how that goes with legality??

Daves Car is engineered anyway, so it will never get checked for stuff like that.
Its all about common sense I reckon. If its a safe mod and you dont drive like an idiot, it will never be an issue.
