Braided lines

[daves16v 1]

Will be fitting 280mm brakes to my 16v next month so I want to replace the rubber brake lines with the braided type. Can I buy direct braided replacements, if so where from?

 

Cheers.

yup, they're available... 8)

 

I got my Goodridge ones from Awesome GTI when I got my Corrado as they are only just up the road from me... I'm pretty certain that C&R in Nottingham do them as well though... 8)

I've bought stuff from them in the past, I'll give em a buzz.

 

Cheers Henny

I've been happy with the quality and fit of the goodridge hoses that I've had on my last 5 modded cars... 8)

 

It improves the brake feel massively... :D
