[chrjen]

I have just purchased a mint set of Porsche calibers including new discs. But i Can see, that they are often sold with the steel braided hoses - but is it really nEsessary, ie is the original hoses long enough??

I would very much doubt they would be long enough - and anyway, in for a penny, in for a pound. It will feel a lot better too. Brakes and tyres, two things that you can't skimp on.

depends who you speak to. I was using my original hoses and they were long enough. i would of swapped for some steel ones if i could but mine were seized on at the car end lol.

you'll get way better feel with braided hoses ... but just make sure your rear ones are braided too

If so i would buy the complete set of 4 from Goodridge.
