    Hi guy, I'm gonna get myself a set of braided line front and rear and I'm not sure what to get :confused:
    Is there a difference between the big players Hel & Goodridge performance wise or is it just down to looks and build quality also wezmoto and the like are they any good? And lastly where to buy cheap I'm a jock after all :)
    Now I know this has probably been asked a million times before but any help would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers Trev

    Personally I'd get braided every time, but tbh the performance increase is gonna be minimal if your current lines are already in good nick. The improvement you will feel will probably be due to the flush of the old fluid with new.

    IMO as long as you get a reputable brand you'll be OK, the main difference is who actually makes them. Correctly made lines ie length of hose and orientation of banjos make all the difference when trying to fit.

    I have used Goodrich and hel in the past and can't tell the difference. Choose the ones that look right and are the right price for you
