Brake hoses are used to transfer brake fluid to the brake caliper and force the brake pads onto the brake discs. They should not be confused with brake lining. However they are somethimes refered to as "brake lines".
On an Elise the standard brake hoses are made from rubber and upgrading these (usually to stainless steel hoses) results in a firmer, more positive brake pedal with less pedal travel. There are four brake hoses on the Elise and the procedure for changing them is relatively involved.
