Hi all,My question is have any of you GTi MK5 owners replaced the rubber brake lines in favour of Stainless Steel Braided ones from the likes of Goodridge and HEL with OEM Brakes? If so have to noticed any improvement? Thank you. Darren
I changed to SS brake lines but can't quantify what improvement it made as I changed/uprated pads at the same time.

I uprated the lines to Goodridge SS but uprated pads and discs at the same time. I would think that if it is noticeable, the difference will be minimal at best.I would save your money and uprate all at the same time or save your money altogether.
I'm no expert but that sounds like air in the system?
