    Anybody got/tried these?

    I want some braided hose for when I do my 302mm conversion. I know goodridge list 2 sets for them 15's and 16+ wheels. But what do people think about these?

    I know I've got V70R listed, but I'm hoping these are the longer ones.

    This is the link for the 850 ones.

    i've got Black Diamond brake lines on mine, very nicely made & very good quality. I paid £30 trade for them so not bad prices

    I have goodridge. they're the only ones I have ever used so couldn't give you any comparison I'm afraid. top quality and braided hoses are a definite must fit for me!

    Delighted to find BFG already in place so my conversion should be a comparative doddle now I have resolved locking nut issue. They seem to have plenty of length in them.

    try some dot5(i think) fluid the uprated stuff for the best effect though. discs not essential but If you can afford some uprated discs pads and the other bits get as much as you can as you can never stop quick enough!!
