N4eay Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi Guys, As above, looking to get the brake and clutch line/s upgraded to braided hoses. For those who have done this, have you notice much difference / improvement with daily driving? Hoping for more 'feel' from the clutch and more bite from the brakes. Going to change the pads to Red or Yellow stuff as well. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_CNC Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) I'm having my brake lines and clutch line replaced with braided ones right now, knowing how it improved pedal feel in my previous car I'm sure I'll be happy when I pick the car up. I'm also having my pads changed from almost new EBC Red Stuff which were on when I bought the car to Ferodo DS2500 because Red Stuff are pretty much useless, even when warmed up they don't bite nowhere near as well as DS2500.

docwra Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Brakes - massive improvement, just get it done ASAP Clutch - less so, I could live without it but its not going to hurt. Brakeswise I highly recommend Carbon Lorraine if you are doing anything on track, Ive used some nice pads before but these are the tits, immediate bite no matter how hot they get, good feel and superb performance (as the back end of a 458 nearly found out at spa the other day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 There are far better pads available than EBC, ones that actually have a racing heritage As the guys have mentioned Ferodo or CL are good options theres also Hawk at Performance Friction, it all depends on what you do with your car. Get in touch if you want any brake advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Had both done. For sure brake lines esp with fast road. Clutch was done as at the time I was heading to the Nurburgring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delz0r Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Brakes does make a difference. Clutch, I couldn't tell much of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4eay Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks for the comments and advice all ...! Will take a look at the alternate Pad options. Will probably leave the clutch and just get the fluid changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If you decide to stick with EBC, yellows are much better than reds. Braided brake lines are excellent, clutch is more of a maintenance upgrade (IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridz Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 HEL braided hoses and Ferodo 2500 pads have transformed the braking on my Zed. Clark Motorsport or Cougar Store can assist with the necessary parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
