the only benefit i can think of is that they last longer than rubber ones as they do not tend to crack as easily and they look nice  .when i had them on my car i did not notice any change in braking performance. as for the fitting its quiet easy 15 min per side only a spanner. And dont forget to bleed the brakes after your done!! |

as said last longer better pedal feel better braking effect due to less expansion of the hose plenty of detail on the net about them |

the main advantage is that they dont expand as much when under pressure, which means no spungy pedal. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |
