Lightbulb steel braided flexy hoses

is there a steel braided flexy hose kit available for the type 85 CQ?

I need to replace a hose on the rear so i thought i might as well upgrade them at the same time.

Apparently steel braided hoses give better brake pedal feel? Or so I've read regarding other cars with them fitted.

If i replaced them all with these steel items, would they be compatible with any future brake upgrade? such as an 280mm brake upgrade, or bigger?

Who's best? any one have a recommendation?

The HEL ones seem to be catching my eye, as they say it uses all stainless steel construction, where as the others seem to have mild steel ends?
