6 hose is for cars with rear discs, 4 hose is for cars with drums.

funny thing is that the 4 1 has 4 hoses & so does the 6 1. Bit confusing. Does any1 if goodrich are any good? Also which is the cheapest place to get them from? What about the HEL make?

Thanks

I believe this is to do with does it have a load sensor valve or not (early vs late abs)

(b.t.w I could be wrong on this?)

Just thought id bump this as i still aint got my lines sorted. I will be doing a full brake overhaul from the pipes down to the pads.
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.
