Default braided brake lines

will this make much of a difference in my braking? anyone using these? i found some at maximum motorsports for 129 and summit for 69. next question is why are these summit ones so much cheaper than maximum?

if i buy the earl's ones from summit i can afford to buy hawk pads too. i did search but there are no posts about how well braded lines work.

I run braided lines just for the durability. They last much longer, and if something flies up from the road or bouces out of someone's truck bed and hits them, they're less likely to be cut open or ripped apart. They're certainly not indestructable, but definately more durable.

They absolutly give a better pedal feel!! They dont expand like a rubber brake line so the pedal is much firmer! Also if you do road course events they are much better!!!
