Are braided brake lines worth it ... I know they were on old cars I have had ... but are they on such a new car

Installed a set on mine and did not feel any difference... :/ I'm sure there are people who have different opinions though.

On some old cars I have had ie from the 70s and 80s they do improve but I figured with the power assisted braking it wouldn't make a difference

Just curios and dragging up an old thread ( that I started ) who makes braided lines for the Auris I can't find anything on a quick search

Nobody AFAIK at the moment. If I remember correctly, speedchaser had them made for him from Goodridge.

Thought someone had said something like that just couldn't remember where so thought I would just drag up the old thread

Yeah contact guys at Goodridge. They will make them for you as I've sent them examples which they used to make mine.

I had a set of braided steel hoses made up for mine when the discs & pads were being done. The garage is a rally car preparation specialist, so had all the necessary tools, parts & skills to do the job. Pedal feel a bit firmer, but more importantly the brakes now feel more responsive & you get the exact amount of retardation you asked for. Passed the MOT easily too, so they obviously did the job correctly. :)
