hm... when you are braking, after the pads locked the brake disc, the exist pressure will make the stock rubber hose expanded and you will lose some brake power there. But when u changed those steel brake line, all the brake power will be going straight from master brake cyc to the brake disc without losing pressue in between.... that's what i hear..
the car is a Jazz btw
Naaa... those little preasure aint going to make much different....
Steel braided hoses are still hoses with steal braiding and it too does expend slightly. Unless you are riding on the brakes all the time, stock lines are good for normal usage... I have seen cars, mostly autos, with the brake light on all the time and those cases, maybe it will help, for all the wrong reason that cause the problem in the first place.
Instead of investing in the steel braided hoses, put your money into good brake pads and good rubber that grip better.
In most cars, if you press too hard on the brake pedal, and the pads are already at full compression and cannot be pressed down anymore, the excess pressure will swell the lines, if the lines are hot enough to be soft. If the lines are still cold and hard, the overpressure will damage the master cylinder (causing premature leaks into your brake pedal area)Quote:
