Are braided brake hoses really worth buying? Do they really help with braking that much more than regular factory rubber hoses?Anyone have any experience with braided lines?The reason i'm asking is that i was wondering if it would help that much more on stopping power when i'm running 35" tires on a 87 1/2 ton Gm pickup.The rest of the braking system on the truck is new including master cylinder/booster and calipers/pads and shoes..Thanks for your input.
For your setup, I think you would be happy with the results. They definitely make a difference. Rubber brake lines expand slightly when the pedal is pressed, whereas braided stainless lines do not, making the brakes feel very crisp and "tight". You will actually have to change the way you apply the brakes, they will feel much stronger with less pedal effort. On a truck that has much tire and suspension flex under braking, adding braided hoses can only help take up some of the "slack" you've created with the tires/suspension. They also hold up better offroad.
