For anyone not aware of the benefits of braided steel brake lines: OEMs tend to make brake lines from reinforced rubber hose, as it's cheap and 'does the job'. For track or high performance use it's much more preferable to use a durable flexible braided steel line. More robust against damage from rocks or other debris. The main benefit however is that the rubber hoses expand slightly under the massive pressures in the lines, this 1. reduces the force transmitted to the pistons in the caliper, and 2. makes the pedal softer and therefore more difficult to modulate (your brain can vary muscle force applied a lot more precisely than it can modulate the exact position of your foot which is why a good brake pedal should be rock solid).

I was pleased to find the new hoses will also give a total of 0.336kg unsprung weight savings.
