Stainless Braided Brake Flex Hoses - are they worth it?
I am looking into replacing my front flex hose brake pipes. One has a heavily abraded spot on it and I would do the other side just as insurance. (I had a hard pipe brake line failure at the Romp so I am going through and checking all my lines at the moment.)
I can find standard flex hoses for fairly decent prices. I also see RN offers a fancy braided steel flex pipe for quite a few more dollars.
Is the braided hose worth the extra coins? Especially considering the application in a Series truck...?
Has anyone used them and can you really feel a benefit?
