Title: Braided brake hoses
Post by: Reasty on 16 January 2012, 20:30

I am replacing all my brake hoses for braided ones and will be going for the 6 line goodridge kit,but they come in two flavours! one with zinc fittings and one with stainless fittings,which ones are best?! the stainless ones are more expensive but I know that dosnt always mean they are better,so which do I go for?

cheers!  :smiley:

the non stainless ones start to corrode very quickly on a car thats used year round

So which other hoses have quality?

Do braided hoses really make a difference in normal road driving - I am not questioning their use, I just don't know!

Braided hoses make no difference in normal driving, if the rest of brake system is up to scratch.
