    Front Braided Brake Hoses ..

    Anybody know a place that does the proper braided front brake hoses for the C70 T5 ? ...... its a 99 plate ..

    Also, anybody fitted them and actually noticed a difference ? ... I dont mind paying decent cash if i notice a difference ..

    Iv just replaced the front discs, pads and calipers and had all 4 Canisto wheels repaired and re-furbed, so may aswell fit some braided lines and see if it sharpens the braking up abit ..

    Shockers next ...

    I have braided lines on my 99

    HLM fitted them - Goodridge.

    It all adds up. My brakes are really good.

    Complete set is about £85 from PFV. Make sure you get the correct one, later C70 cars require 5 hoses.
