I have plumbed the entire front brake lines on my car with braided brake line. I was told this is not good because braided line will swell. Anyone ever heard or experience this.

Use 3/16" steel line wherever possible during new construction. Use flex lines only where necessary.


Wilwood brakes have a good faq page I use when I have ?'s about brakes

It will expand with pressure but to what extent I
cant say... I have my whole system (front and rears)
with braided, I can feel a little bit of spongy pedal
but I dont call it bad so with yours being just the
fronts it would be less
