while your on with the job of changing discs and stuff,you may as well fit the braided hoses at the same time and run some decent brake fluid through them while your at it.it should all make for a better feel on the brake peddle when done as the braided ones wont expand like the standered rubber hoses will under heavy braking.

Same here, I've got Goodridge hoses too.

I don't really think there are good or bad ones I'd just keep in mind that the cheaper ones are cheap for a reason.

I had earl's lines fitted and so far i'm very pleased with the feeling you get when pressing hard on the pedal, it's like the pedal has less travel befor you start to reallly feel the car stopping
