in my D16a8, i want to know if i should go for the run of the mill hoses or the all-out braided lines? is there a big price difference there? and what real difference will it make to me?

also should i go to places like honbits and hontoys to source this stuff?

Just go with the rubber hoses. You won't notice the difference in performance, but you will definitely notice the difference in price. for example a 1/4 inch hose at about 1m long will set you back about $50-$100 for a braided hose, whil a rubber hose will cost less than $10. If you were to change all the hoses to braided, then it's gonna cost you a fortune. Not worth it :thumbdwn:

Also, don't get secondhand hoses, get new ones!!! I can't stress that any more. It's very important.

Hope that helps :)
