Brake system for a race car

[Moparmatt72]

I was just wondering if there would be any benefit to use -4 or -3an steel braided hose for the whole system or just use stainless steel hard line with the flex steel braid hoses to connect to the calipers? I want to redo the whole brake system lines, going to go with a hydra boost master as well.

Thanks

IMHFO S/ST hard lines as far as necessary everywhere & shorter Teflon Lined Braided S/ST #3 or #4 AN lines to the rear axle {from a hard line all the way to the rear axle} & to your front calipers/front suspension long enough not to bind in full lock or full suspension travel, for the flex lines only, then to the hard lines on the rear axle too, or you risk having the lines swell or flex too much so to speak, when you create 1200psi + brake pressure, creating a soft or more mushy feeling on the brake peddle otherwise, if it was long sections of flex line thru-out the car, with just distribution blocks, if you want a firmer peddle the Teflon lines are much better than just a rubber flex line or a rubber inner AN S/ST braided outer Flex lines on your brakes... my $0.02 cents

Thanks Budnicks I was thinking along those terms just wanted to double check, gonna buy the kit that has the hard steel line with the hoses that just connect to the calipers. Its a kit from chris alston. Just need a flare tool now and a bendet for the lines.
