Im going to need some new brake pads soon and thinking i mit do the lines aswell

What do you guys think?

Do it if you want to. :) I'll put in braided brake lines in the future.

i used to have them on my 180sx and gtr and they worked really good just wondering if they will work just as good on the euro

Have you driven a euro with the lines fitted?

why not

For a relatively new car like the Euro I don't think they will offer that much, but it depends on your circumstances and how you drive the car.

If you track your car frequently and find brakes are not up to scratch or fading, I'd try a better compound brake pad, bleed lines with a good quality fluid, and rotors. Only after that if you are unsatisfied would I consider braided lines.

That being said they are relatively cheap upgrade, and easy to install.

I have driven Stephen8512's Euro which had SS brake lines on it. But I didn't push it that hard to actually feel the tangible benefits. PM him for his experience.

Steel braided lines also add bling factor, clean and wax em so they are shiny :D

i had braided brake lines on my S15. not the same car, but will have the same effect. brake pedal will become more firm, same as installing a master cylinder brace.

a definitely money-well-spent mod IMO

ive had the APP steel braided brake lines on my euro and i can say that it did remove the "spongy" feel when u apply the brakes hard. Not hard so that the ABS kicks in, but hard enuff to feel it thru ur foot that its firm....

mr747 PM "driven", the OH trader cuz i got mine from him. 2nd hand though. he had it on his euro and i bought it off him. not sure where he got it from though.

Yep upgrade to Hawk ceramic's and braided lines recently.

Havent really been driving through the twisties latley but have noticed the pads bite earlier than stock pads.

Got both through TSX parts.

Also Weds sport also do braided lines for the euro, not sure how much though, I'll see if I can find more info for u.
