I replaced the single rear braided line this morning and noticed that all the calipers also have a short rubber line.
Those of you who went braided, did you change the calliper lines as well? It strikes me that it would be silly not to change them all.

I’ve been searching the subject a bit and there are those who use new rubber hoses on the front because they don’t feel comfortable with the twisting that the braided are subjected to.

.........
FWIW: Non vehicular have experienced issues with steel braided covered lines having no memory when idiot twisted or impacted by Muppets
Appears to steel hold its squishy injury hindering rubber lines within from returning to their natural born state?

The 4.8 Nissan original pads are said to be better than Bendix but I don't know how they compare price wise.

I just went out to have a look and cannot find it any more. Unsure where the hell it went. Probably binned it at some stage.
I bought the kit many many years ago when I had the previous Patrol and never ended up fitting it. But it definitely had ALL hoses as braided included.
I'm following this thread. My Patrol definitely needs new brakes soonish, so I'm thinking of doing the front discs/pads upgrade.
A while back I was going to go the 4.8 upgrade route, but holy hell. The price and availability of those isn't great.
Patrolapart treat them like gold ingots. They just about arrive in Armaguard trucks, thats how sought after they are.

At the moment I’m leaning towards all braided except for the front calipers. New rubber is probably the better option there.
Edit: I've just come across this in my research:
From Roadrunner Offroad " We will not supply the front caliper lines in Braided, Our supplier has been instructed by head office, not to produce or sell them, even if specially requested, As the line is too short and the braided line does not have as much give, it can cause the line to fail. We are able to do them on the rear though."
Edit again: Getting a bit confusing when I see that Marks 4WD sell the braided lines for the front calipers.

Now I see that Roadrunner also sell the braided lines for front calipers.
