SankysVR6 1 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Had my car MOT'd at the weekend, and it failed for bulging brake hose on the front. Had it replaced so everything is fine.But know I'm thinking why not upgrade to some braided ones all round, so I've got few questions to ask.Are they worth it and would i feel any difference with them?Also they come with six hoses in the kit, i guess one is for each wheel so what are the other two for?And finally is the fitting guide anyway, and would it be difficult to do?

JimGTI 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 short answer yes!! they made a massive difference to pedal feel and stopping power... obviously combine with some good fluid, nice pads and discs for maximum effect Link to post Share on other sites

soul-2-soul 3 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Think GSF do the goodrigde ones - well at least they did for my MK2.Made the peddle feel a lot better & gave me more confidence in the brakes.The VR that I recently brought is getting them on as well as my rubber hoses were bulging as well.

SankysVR6 1 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I rang GSF in Bradford, before i bought the standard one they said don't do them for the VR6. Going to try ECP ath the weekend as they list them on the website. Other wise the cheapest i've seen are on Ebay.Not in no rush so might have a look at UD if can be botherd going on the Sunday.

SankysVR6 1 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Called GSF, but they are out of stock and they are not in stock, and not sure when they will be.Is it just but is the GSF website a pain to use, as not very use friendly. Link to post Share on other sites
