Default New Brake Hoses... Replacement or Braided

Now Is it really worth Paying out for braided hoses?

I know old rubber ones expand and give a bit, But Would braided ones be as good as replaing with new genuine hoses?

Basically its down to cost....

Replacement ones £6 each (£24 for whole car)
Braided Kit £60

Is it worth the extra going to braided? Or are New hose's going to be just as good for a year or so before it begins to perish.

Probably wouldn't tell much difference in pedal feel between new rubber hoses and braided lines.

I've put braided line on nearly all my cars, just for a peace of mind thing more than anything else.

If you're only keeping the car another 12 months, I'd go for the rubber hoses and save yourself a few bob.
