Sorry people this may have been covered before, but ive tried doing a search but couldnt find anything that answered what im looing for.
But anyway here it goes, basically ive upgraded my brakes to Wilwood 310mm kit, so i was thinking would getting braided hose pipes make any difference, if so which ones are the better ones to go for?

Rubber hoses will expand, contract and perish. These will all affect your braking performance. Braided hoses will not do this.
I bought mine from Demon thieves.

not a clue, haven't spoke to anyone who has used them to be honest
to be fair, most black dimond products seem to get a good reputation

Just in the process of fitting some to mine. Now found the rear pipes are pretty bad so I'm changing them too
