Brake hoses

[m4ckg]

I need a new front brake hose for the car, are there any preferred types ( braided or standard ), is there any performance benefit from a braided hose and if I decide to upgrade the callipers to 887-888's will the be compatible? Thanks. Scott

thanks for the reply, are there any benefits performance wise ?

Yes the braided pipes stop the hose expanding under pressure.

Go braided.

The 888/887 calipers have the same thread as the standard items.

I've done the 888/887 and braided conversion and it's a big improvement over the Mickey Mouse stoppers fitted before.

I had braided fitted all round a while back. Didnt notice any improvement but as they needed doing anyway it made sense to put an upgraded product on. Also make sure you used DOT5.1 brake fluid.
