There is a Company that will do Braided Brake-lines for our SX’s but they need a sample.
Estimated cost is R 1100 for all four corners including all fittings

Is that for first time? Seems a little steep, or is that just my broke self talking?
They might give discount for a bunch , not sure...
But you can have them sleaved in a number of colors
sounds good, but I want to upgrade my brakes first. When I've paid off the bloody bank first, bastards!
Why do you want new braided brake lines? What is wrong with the stock ones?
Chem 🙄
I agree, first break it then fix it... not break it while fixing it...
Steel braided hoses don't expand when you push on the pedal-normal rubber lines do.

Why I asked the question is this: Again this topic is one of those with thousands of different answers. No proof that braided brake lines are better
than rubber ones.
One dude on the internet tried some test which was well done, but, the results said nothing.
So I am just carefull that it will end up like bling, bling, bling .
I must admit, it will look good, but only for my eyes ownly while lifting up the sx with a jack

you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet , hmmm... thats a bit of a conundrum considering what i am about to submit!!! 😂
it has been proven that steel braided hoses perform better than rubber hose. one dude on the internet isn't much of a reference in an argument against an entire world full of motoring enthusiasts.
not only do the steel lines prevent line flexing, but they also protect more robustly the rubber of the lines that are encased by the steel braiding.
that is protection from the elements, as well as from any friction or heat that they may come into contact with!
ALSO - R1100-00 is a good price. i've been researching this the past two days, because i am only braided lines away from completing my parts collection for the full Z32 brake mod.
Get your whole internet to show us the papers. Show me the papers. Forget the cosmetics. Show me the science!!!!!!!!!!!!
It works it falls in a tier 1 package...
Braided Hoses and better pads better brake fluid
Will anyone strip a line off a SX , I would like to getting costing check the fittings and order my set
Read this very <a href="http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Brake_Lines" target="_blank">interesting article.</a> <-- Read it already, now!!! 😀

i'm keen for this...
but can i have custom lines made for my custom brake setup? its only slight different end connectors.
the line should be the same in terms of length, diameter, etc!
Just remember guys, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc... do not use SS braided brake lines on their cars, must be a good reason for that.
It'll just look cool, for like the first day and then it'll be dirty 😢

yes, cost cutting

😂 Nice try.
ok i've done lots of reading!
it seems that there are pros and cons of both types of hoses.
the best for normal road use, and occasional track use, is the normal rubber hoses. they are far more durable, last for many tens of thousands of km's, and any perishing or tearing, etc, can easily be spotted.
the braided hoses are good because they will not expand under pressure, and therefore contribute to pedal feel and braking performance. on a race vehicle, which will make brake hoses much hotter than a normal road vehicle, the teflon inner and steel braided hose will not flex like the rubber pipe will. but they are much more susceptable to damage. the braid is there to protect the tefol inner hose against damage from trauma from knocks and hits from stones, bumps, etc.
so unless your car is almost solely dedicated to track usage, and you are willing to replace the lines more often than is normal, i would say go with the rubber hoses.
