Braided brake hoses

[mackempete]

Are they worth fitting? My 4.5's in for a service and one of the front brake pipes is buldging and needs to be replaced. Would it be worth getting them to replace the front hoses with braided or do they need to replace all of them rears included?

might as well replace all, the pipes aren't much in the great scheme of things.

There was a firm on ebay doing sets of braided hoses for the Cerb.

Braided hoses give a much firmer feel to pedal and take out compliance in the system - when you press the pedal it makes the pistons in the calipers move rather than expanding the rubber hoses as well. Do them all.

Is that the whole kit, front and back? Might as well for that money. Any idea how mnay hours labour it would take to swap the back ones?
