Braided hoses
« on: 06 July 2010, 20:34 »
Has anyone replaced their brake hoses with better brained ones?  If so, did you notice any difference?  Also looking for recommendations on which to get?

Not HEL, they had the wrong thread on the banjo so had to source some more, plus the ends were too big to fit through the retainers in the arches and under the car...

Goodridge appear to be the hoses of choice.  Just wondering who's using them?
