Castrol Response Super dot4 has a higher boiling point and won't break the bank which is what I am running with a full goodridge hose kit. Otherwise castrol SRF :lipsrsealed:

The brake lines will improve braking a hell of a lot, no spongy feel and a lot sharper as well as more responsive, now my pads get baked instead  :sad:

As for the hoses it depends you can buy a kit for just front, or just back and mid, or a complete set. I got mine off ebay after messing around with blackdiamond ones, turns out blackdiamond hoses that are advertised for the mk4 all have mk3 connector ends so they are no good. I found this out as I tried several sources.

The ones I got were these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110444927135&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-4-Mk4-Goodridge-Rear-Brake-Lines-6R-/120589365059?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c13afaf43

C&R are brilliant from experience and quick to respond, if you only want them to do a deal on a complete kit or just a part they will sort it out promptly.

Standard 288mm size but using mintex, the discs are about the same as the vw discs, the pads are a bit better, ideally ferrado pads are what you want but they come with a price.

The difference on a 288mm setup is quite considerable, from the bite to response. My mate has a AGU remapped as well but with stock brakes and it feels different by a considerable amount, before you use to glide into the wall now it jolts you forward on braking.
