FK2 Braided lines

[RichE]

Are they worth the upgrade on the FK2 for occasional track use?

 

[richhonda918]

yes for me as I run them on my bikes as I do track days , and ive run them on some off my cars in the passed

I've ran them on other cars. They generally are a worthwhile upgrade.

I like the pedal feel with them even on the road so to me they're worth while plus you can put better brake fluid in at the same time.

I wouldn't have thought you'd needed them on an FK2. The brakes are pretty impressive as is?

Upgraded to braided lines on my EP3. Pedal feel is pretty much no different.
I bleed the brakes frequently (every 6 months) due to track work. I'd imagine a lot of people who upgrade to braided lines haven't had the brake fluid changed in a few years at minimum which can change pedal feel.
Not to mention the plastic outer casing goes brittle and splits after a few years, then exposing the metal braid to the elements.
I wouldn't recommend them for a road car. Only for track use.

Thanks for the comments, i was lucky enough to pick some new ex demo Hel lines for £20 off e-bay so may as well fit as there will be some trackdays.

I have just had Hel Brake Lines fitted by Dream. The pedal doesn't feel any different and tbh until the cars get a little older and the rubber hoses stretch a little they wont. they look cool though and its piece of mind that I know they are the best.
