should be the 6 line kit. good ridge through ebay are around £70-80, plus if you want to upgrade rear calipers (to less sticky mk4 one's) you can buy a kit with the correct conversion hoses

ideal time to sort both out (if your rear brakes are typical mk3 crap)

Any links or which caliper goes on the mk4? I thought mine where the mk4's on rear?
What make are the rears on mk4? Also links please

this is the mk4 rear caliper http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK4-Bora-Passenger-Side-Rear-Brake-Caliper-N-S-SEAT-SKODA-AUDI-/321077785061?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AGolf%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK+IV&hash=item4ac1ba31e5

you should get a pair for around £30-40 and they are alum rather than steel and have less issues with seizures. hand brake cables fit stright on but they use different hose connectors hence needed the goodridge conversion hoses (or kit)

Who got braided line fitted? Who did you buy them from? How much did you pay? And what make? Need to get some soon as now. As people are telling me different things1 thing are both my front and rear calipers banjo fitting? I have ate at from ane lucas as back. Disc size on front is 288mm and my car is 96 (p) anniversary.
Made my own without covers, perk of the job :cool:

All mk3 golfs use 6 lines.two front and four on rear.The rears use two each side,one from chassis to subframe and one from subframe to caliper or drum on each side.Why they do a 4 line kit beats me as you are left with a standard hose on each side on the rear,the one that goes from chassis to subframe.Makes it pointless. :sad:
