Yea I got to think if that were true then everyones braided lineswould bulge at the caliper.
Yeah I agree.
However, think of the difference it made when you went from the stock rubber hose to braided lines. Now you have 10x the amount of 'flexable' line, much more surface area to 'buldge.' I think that is the point they are trying to make, is even if it flexes a tiny amount, that amount is multiplied throughout the entire system...
I really dont think it makes that much of a difference, its one of these 'in theory' types of deals. Additionally, these are streetcars so i'm assuming it has even less of an effect. A chassis builder told me that he wouldnt use them, so i didnt. It wasnt hard to just do steel (and way cheaper
Im the future I will prolly switch to the braided, mabye when it gets completley repainted. It looks way better.
anyways, nice car, great job with everything.
Hows IGY doin? still messing with hondas?

Igy's doing good.. he sold his Honda and picked up a WRX wagon. 
If/when I ever go back to the states, this car is going to get stripped down and turned into a circut car. I'll have to decide then if I want to keep the braded lines or go back to solid.

Thanks man! hows your car doing??
Yea, these are all new parts. I never had this headlight kit before. the ones on my old car were from East Bear. But I like these ones a LOT more.
