Braided Hoses??
« on: 22 June 2014, 11:52 »
Morning guys...

I'm just about to undertake the R32/S3 345mm front brake upgrade.

My dilemma is, do I go with a brand new set of OEM hoses or go for braided items.

If I go braided, is it possible to get the longer R32 items for the front and GTI items for the rear?

Will the R32 rears hoses be suitable, as the kits come in packs of 4?

Thanks in anticipation...

Good ridge made me a set of rear hoses for my Mk5, had to supply then with a pattern (just bought one for the dealer), so I think it is possible to buy front and rears separately. I would have thought that the rears would be the same on the R32 and GTI anyway.

Thanks Matty.

I've just seen your thread - did you manage to source the rears on their own?

Just contacted goodridge and they made me aware to my embarrassment that the mk6 has hardlines to the actual caliper and a flexi from the rear beam to the hardline which they call a mid-line i'll let you know how much they quote

These are rear mids as i explained the hardline comes from the caliper to a bracket on the caliper then flexy to rear arm i've gone carbon to try and match the front hel items i had with my kit
