    what difference do they make?

    at the minute i have a 266mm setup and they are quite good but would they be better with braided hoses?

    you probably will not be able to tell the difference if your standard ones are in good condition, though they are a lot less succeptable to damage

    Not really, but it kindda depends on the application. Boggo standardo ones CAN have a tendancy to expand under heavy breaking. The braided ones won't do this as they are much stronger. The main selling point for most is the less spongy feel on the brake pedal after installing them.
