hi

i will do my brake in the next week and i've commanded

-pbr ceramic for front and rear

- tyrolsport brake stiffner kit (brass bushing)

- new disc

i want to know if i should upgrade my brake line to braided stainless brake line ???

does the braided line do a real difference or it's the kind of mod you just dont feel

i dont track my car btw

thanks

 

How old is your MINI? If you have a lot of miles on it & the brake lines look old then yep I would. If your car doesn't have a ton of miles & isn't too old then no I wouldn't. You aren't going to feel the difference. Remember to change your brake fluid when you do the brake job. Every 2 years for a street driven car.

 

I encourage my customers to change out OEM lines at 100K or 5 years and fluid, Motul RBF600, once a year.

 

If your thought process is to "upgrade" your braking system, the general rule for a level 1 upgrade is pads, SS lines and fluid. I recently did this upgrade plus rotors (needed them) and while there is not much difference in feel, it is a step forward to compliment your performance mods.
