Gp brake lines

Has anyone updated there gp2 lines to a braided line? Goodridge?
Im not sure if the standard jcw lines are the same size as the gp, I checked the bmw135i which has the same caliper but the lines are different size so I can't order those that are braided from goodridge.
Like to get a better pedal feel as after some hard driving my pedal goes soft. Any feedback would be great.

Start with good brake fluid, we use motul 600 for our track day GP2s with EBC yellow pads. After that you'll want to keep an eye on the caliper pistons, if you try hard enough you'll melt them. Then you can rebuilt them with stainless ones.

Our WMW brake lines fit

I've got a set of the EBC Reds I'm going to use on the street, then if I ever take my GP to the track I'll use the EBC Yellows first time out.

Thanks way, as I road use it also in australia I need to comply with ADR rules, like dot etc etc in other countries. Does your kit fit the jcw and gp.....Does this mean that the lines are the same length for both cars?

Appreciate the feedback, thank you.

So does that mean the Goodridge brake lines kit for the regular R56 Cooper S will also fit the GP2 as well? I know it fits the R56 JCW with 4 pistons front callipers.

been advise through rob that he used the hel kit, which is a jcw kit and it fits fine for the gp, on the hel website it has a different kit for the cooper s so I'm assuming different size.
