Na, I've done it before. I'll get the garage to do it this time and they can sort the buggers out.  |

why? 20 quid for all new rubber pipes, just as good as them. |

I know what your saying Chris but from what I've read there suposed to firm up the braking a little.
I just thought I'd try them out to see for myself, or are you saying there a complete waste of money? |

they only firm the pedal up if the rubber ones are knackered.
The rubber hoses are not just rubber pipes, they have a liner, then a rubber braided membrane then the rubber.
The steel ones are the same but have a liner, rubber then an outer metal braid.
So only time they are better is when the rubber ones are shot.
Also they can wear through anything very quickly, seen a few hole sin floor pans/struts from where they rub, same with braided hoses in the engine bay, they can machine their way through cam covers quickly.
Also you can't clamp them.
tbh I would stay with rubber. |
