Will be updating to the 312mm set up so thought i might as well update the brake hoses as im not sure if they have ever been done plus the brake fluid (dot.5? correct?)

I got some Hel ones which are good quality but aint much difference between them and the Goodridge ones, either you cant go wrong.

Brake fluid I used Dot 4 Ate superblue, good stuff. The lines and brake fluid made big difference to my standard brakes, just got lcr discs and brembos now so should be a awesome setup once I get my car back on the road.
