Braided Hoses?

Is there any difference in the performance of them

from

Hel Braided Hoses or Goodridge Braided Hoses.

What Company would you recommend and why?

I reccomend Goodridge hoses, i have them and they work well.

I prefer standard hoses, but they have a finite lifespan and are not cheap to replace like with like. Braided hoses offer less feel, but are better value for money and don't "go off" like OE ones do.

I have HEL hoses on the 'storm, and Goodrich on the 'ace.... both are good.

the most important issue with braided hoses, is to get stainless steel banjos/connectors. Don't be tempted by alloy, or pretty coloured anodised alloy connectors: those WILL corrode and weaken relatively quickly, with almost no visible evidence before bursting under pressure.

FWIW either are worth fitting. The only negative comment I've heard about Hel lines is that they may not be the right length. A club member bought off the shelf Hel lines for his rear and had a hell (pun intended) of a job getting it to fit.

Yeah, the Goodridge one's work out at £44 for Zinc plated fittings (which are perfectly good anyway) and the S/S HEL ones for £52.

In hindsight I think I would have bought the HEL one's, but I have 2 sets of the Goodridge and seem to be holding up well after a year.

is it worth getting a rear braided hose as it isn't used that much in breaking, is it worth the extra?

Braided hose seems to me to give a more direct action, you still have feel but its more like a rod linkage, I would say because it isn't bulging like a plain rubber hose, especially an old one, I used to just have one on the front , because it was easy enough to lock up the back already, the boot being less sensitive as to how much pressure you're applying
