it will not firm up for brakes. It will only prevent the lines from ballooning , once the fluid has heated up to a larger degree ( IE wont happen on the street or unlikely on the track)
I tend to disagree. On a mates 15 year old car with 15 year old rubber lines and relatively stock brakes we noticed a difference instantly.
fit the same rated pads front n rear Braking balance is a good thing.
Eclipsor . That is not because they are braided lines , its because they are newer than the OEM lines the car had. IF you replaced them with OEM lines either new or 2nd hand , you would of noticed the difference immediately too.

That was kind of the point I was trying to make. A lot of people on here have cars getting on a bit. For the price of braided lines these days, personally I would get them over oem. ADR approved ones of course.
edit: Maybe thats not exactly right. But by the things people are saying here, you shouldn't even look at your lines until you've got some huge Brembo setup. When, if you do have a fairly old car then even replacing them with new standard ones at the same time if not before all the other stuff would be well worth it. Anyway, off topic... carry on.

I have been quoted around $300-400 for a set of ADR lines so it is a fair step up from OEM.

If I just fitted the front ones would it be no good for any reason though.Sorry about all the questions,just curious...

By fitting the fronts and leaving the rear stock, you upset the original brake balance by having more biting force up front, thus making a larger shift in weight to the front when you brake hard.
I'm not sure if Goodridge lines are ADR approved. It probably won't have the ADR approval number on it since they come from the US. But from the pics, they have the teflon sleeve, which makes the difference between an ADR approved line and a US DOT approved line.

I agree, however as I said before, depending on who you speak to and how you interpret your local road authorities laws (ie Vicroads), the Goodridge lines may or may not be legal (due to adr's).
When I investigated this some time ago all I got was confusion and no one was able to give me a straight answer as to if they were legal. They only way I was told to make sure that they are 100% legal is if the lines come with certification that they are specifically adr compliant.
