Re: [T3] brake lines

["Nico teWinkel" <ntewinkel@yahoo.com>]

Ok, I'm getting confused (not like that's never happened before)...
The verdict seems to be that the standard lines (if new) are as good as the
stainless steel braided teflon lines. Some say the braided is better, others
claim it's only psychological.
I need to replace all the lines at some point soon, so here's my temptation:
according to an article pointed to by someone a few days ago, you can use
the braided line right from master cylinder to the caliper on the fronts. So
for each wheel you only have one line, rather than a metal line connected to
a rubber line. I assume you can do something similar at the rear - from the
T to the wheel cylinders. Sounds like less work (read: "I'm lazy").
Safety-wise, is that going to be same or better than the standard stuff?
Money-wise, is that going to cost me an arm and a leg extra?
Any word of what length hoses I would need?

Thanks,
-Nico
