    G'day, reason I never went braided front brake lines was because they are not adr approved. The materials yes, but because of the rotation on the front wheels braided lines do not wear like factory ones due to the rigidity. Or so I am told. I am going for engineering certification of my lift so no braided fronts for me. And yes, when I did the rest there was an immediate difference in pedal feel, as one would expect.

    their brake lines are ADR approved,

    Yeah I have teflon brake lines now on the front now, but unfortunately they do not have the same mechanical advantage as braided.

    I thought braided lines were teflon (PTFE)... whats the difference?

    The braided lines on my truck are anyway

    Yeah teflon doesn't really have anything to do with them being braided. I have teflon lined rubber brake hoses. Doesn't mean a thing to you and me, just potentially longer lasting.
