Has anypone replaced their standard brake lines for braided ones? If so could I borrow the standard ones so I can get some braided ones made up as well? You can have them back once the guy has taken all measurements? Could be a really good group buy if I can get a set!!

Is this worthwhile if running standard brakes?

Yes, all rubber lines swell to some degree and this is what braided removes. Will improve pedal feel, which imo is something the GenIV lacks.

Im probably buying a brake upgrade from PhatMan so you can use my standard lines if you want - i would want them back or a set of braided for when i sell the car though

$755 is a rip off. You should be able to get them for less than 1/2 this.

Bonski, That would be great and the shop would only have them for a day or so. The shop is in Melbourne too which makes it easier. The shop is called Brakewest at 129 - 131 McIntyre Road in Melbourne. Are they close to you? If they are not let me know how much the postage will be and I'll send you a few dollars to get them there and back.
Thanks
Rob

Is anyone interested in going halves with me and taking the front brake lines if I order the Goodridge ones?? I only need the rears.

Why: do the Goodridge lines from USA definitely fit the AUS model??

I can get AP Brakes (Dixcel) ones for you guys same ones used in the kit PhatGT was selling. They are also ADR approved, you can get defected if the lines aren't ADR approved. Will hit you back with pricing soon.
