Default custom brake lines

i want to run braided steel lines from the master cylinder to prop valve and from prop valve directly to calipers (front calipers atleast)

would i run into any problems at anytime with the pressure goin thru these lines?

would they be more prone to failure then hardlines?

ive seen a few poeple using braided line from master cylinder to prop valve, what kind of effect does this have on peddle feel?

same with the clutch, ive seen a few with braided lines that replace the whole hardline, what effect does this have on peddle feel?

thanks

I did the clutch on my car and the difference was about the same as doing it to your breaks. It basically moved my engage point slightly.

I wouldnt do it to the other hardlines. Even braided lines can go bad over time and you wont see it til its too late. I done think that **** would loook cool either it would be a mess. The hardlines never move and are way less prone to fail. Those are the same brakes that stop you from killing yourself or other people I would leaves those lines alone.

im not worried about how the braided lines would look....my prop valve is no longer mounted on my firewall, therefore i have to re-route the lines. i figured braided would be the easiest, and wanted to know if they would function properly also

what size line and fittings did u use for the clutch? and what thread are the fittings?
