Steel braided brake line?

I'm putting new pads and shoes on the GT500, I was thinking that I might replace the rubber hydraulic brake line with steel braided.

Has anyone else done this and did they find that it made any improvement?

it will firm up the feel a lot. I feel it is a very good modification.
If you don't like the look, put shrink wrap over the braided stainless.

I went with the black line from Goodridge on my 550. looks and feels better.

I got a set of custom lines fro a guy on ebay. They were slightly cheaper than the regular brands and were exactly what I ordered (not necessarily what I needed, but that's not their fault

).

They were stainless braid covered in a black sheath. They look like stock lines but are slightly smaller diameter.

Best improvement to a set of brakes.
