Brakes What braided lines and fluid to get

4shm3x · 19th May 2012, 20:47

Hey guys, replaced my front pads with ebc greenstuff recently.
Only just wearing them in at 190 miles. Feeling a difference already, won't be able to tell until they are run in a bit more.

So anyway I want to improve my braking performance more, I have heard that braided lines and better fluid makes a huge difference. So I am here to ask by doing so will I get a big difference and what ones to get.

Cheers

Ash

Lines: Do-luck lines (ask cazza at sumopower she can sort you out

Or Hel or HKS or Goodridge do lines too but Do-luck are cheapest and just as good construction-wise.

Fluid: Motul RBF dot4, 3 bottles of it for a full flush

Do-Luck lines are rebranded HEL lines - in fact the distribution blocks come in a small ziplock with the HEL logo on it!

Combine them with RBF600 and you're set. Makes a massive improvement to pedal feel.

How many litres of the fluid do I need? Is it fot 4 or 5.1 I need?
A link to the cheapest place for it would be great also

Goodridge and RBF600 works well!
