GT4/GT3/RS - replacing braided brake hose

[akadk]

does anyone know if the routine service schedule includes the periodic replacement of the braided brake hoses for any of the GT cars?

I have a track focussed car from another OEM running the same Brembo CCB set up which has them replaced every 2 yrs - which to me sounds ridiculous

Interested if Porsche have something similar ?

OEM lines are not braided, that’s aftermarket, so then you’re on whatever that brand or workshop recommends.

OEM line replacement is not included in standard service schedule.

oh right - they are braided on my car

surprised GT product is not braided ?

Braided lines are available as part of Manthey Racing kits, but not fitted as standard as TDT says.

Easy, cheap job…with big benefit.

Goodridge, HEL…

Yep, I have the MR parts and better fluid in my GT4. Noticeable difference in firmness of the pedal, but I'm now overheating the pads, even with my decidely average driving skills

I think this is why MR suggest doing the lines/fluid/pads as a set.

You’re overheating your pads because you’ve got a lot quicker!

Faster you go the more expensive it gets.

If you turn the TC off on track, this could help reduce the heat into the brakes.

I didn't find the standard brake setup to bad, when you get used to them to be honest, you can trigger the abs on warm cups on track.

It's more fade than ABS that I'm finding, or a lack of sharpness as the laps increase. I just think the stock pads are a bit soft and get overheated faitly easily.
