Has anyone tried out the aforementioned lines? It seems that they have a cover over the braided steel to protect from dust and that they're DOT legal. Any feedback or opinion would be welcomed.

Braided lines have been known to get pinched on the track.

I understand it doesn't give a performance benefit, but I love rock hard brake pedals.

True, but I'm looking for fade resistance that are superior to that needed on tracks for 15 or 30 minute lapping sessions. Any extra pedal hardness would be great too.

Team, you're thinking of one type of fade; that of boiling brake fluid which reduces the actual amount of braking you have. I'm talking about another type of that, this type does not decrease your braking power, but does affect the feel of the brake pedal (causing problems in pedal modulation). I think this is termed green fade, but it's been a long time since I last read Tune to Win.

Pinched by going over curb or off track, Hitting a rock or a rock coming up and hitting the line.
Not very common, but it has happened.
Discussion with Tri point racing agrees this can happen.

That book is how old??? OE brake lines were a lot different then ... unless you're in a real competition scenario don't bother. Plenty of people are tracking with their OE flex brake hoses without any issues. IMO you're making a mountain out of a molehill. No book ever replaced practical experience ...

Costs about 650 bucks for the whole pacakge, but thats cheaper than buying it all seperately.
