Looking to get braided hoses. I know there have sometimes been issues in the past with the Russell hoses. Have they been updated in the past few years? Thanks guys

Same here. Had a few issues when installing. Where the hose connected to the caliper, it would not stay off the casted rib that surrounds the connection. This caused some air leaking. A few minutes with a Dremel and all was well. Sealed up well and haven't had any issues since.
