Under normal driving conditions, the ori hose is more than adequate. Its only when you are driving hard (i mean pushing the brakes to the limit), the metal hoses will make a difference. The ori BMW hoses are pretty thick to be honest

that's what i tot so.....

as for chubby, he takes his ride to the track..and it'll work best for him.

but if our ori ones worn out and starts to have hairline cracks, is it better to chg them to stainless steel as its has longer lifespan as well?

 

[NKTOB]

the ori brake hose per set costs around RM200+ per set...

and a stainless steel brake line kit of BF Goodridge costs RM500+ per set...

is it a worth while investment? taking into consideration of lifespan and performance vis a vis........

In a nutshell.... YES.

Although, from what i've read (you knowlah which site, eh, NKTOB) to get the best results from the braided steel lines, your brakes should also be an upgraded pot.

nktob...waaaa...talkin bout me ahh..hheheh....chubby only lorrr...heheh....
actually to be honest its worth the investment bro...when i had my goodrich's installed i looked at each and every one of them as it was being installed..they look and feel very strong n solid...definitely an upgrade then the ori hose...but whats RM250 more when brakes is one of the most important elements in a car as we are talking about safety of lives

Well at least thats what I think...I love to "Drive" hence why I want to improve my brakes...but dont really matter whether u small or big sized engine bro...a 318 and a 330 both doing 160kmh...still need to brake right..question is how fast u want ur car to stop from that speed in an emergency...in this situation doesn't matter whether u drive 318 or M3...the more braking power and ability u have the better..u can never have enough braking power anyways...

Thats just my opinion...hope somone agrees with me on this
if not eat more burgers...car will be heavier

the brake fuild leak out when removing old hose and changing new one? if yes, then have to buy brake fluid to topup?

 

[adliz]

hi,

i read somewhere that brake hose upgrade is best accompanied by upgrading the pads.. for continuous hard driving, shud also consider upgrading the brake fluid.. these upgraded setup shud be more than enuff for most..

after that, i strongly think that your braking threshold would be your tyres.. having a wider, softer compound and lower profile tyres wud also help with your high speed stopping power.. after all this, you should seriously think about BBK.. also, only if u need a strong braking, continuously.. just my opinion..

gud luck!!
