Fairly sure it's the 6 line one you'll be wanting. Not sure about where for cheap though

Oh i also forgot to add that i have G60's on the front and mk3's on the rear. Will this make any difference?

What about the guys I keep seeing advertised at the top of the pages? Paragon Performance? Maybe if they're advertising on here some sort of deal could be arranged? I've not looked at them yet, just noticed out of the corner of my eye that's all.

What makes you so sure? Arnt G60 calipers further away needing a longer line?

Title: Re: Braided brake lines

Well the 16v 256mm caliper hose is actually 35mm shorter than the 8v hose, so no problems with them being too short ;)

I'm confused as well now.

Looking to put MK3 16v hubs, discs calipers etc onto my MK2. Which kit will I need, 4-line, 6-line ?? I need the banjo connecters on the front will that effect which kit I will need to buy.

Advice on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

the difference between the 4 & 6 line kits, is simply if the hoses to the rear calipers are included. (i.e. you need a 4 line kit for a car fitted with rear drums, or if you have MK4 rear calipers which require different hoses altogether)
