    Sorry, brakes again ..

    Hi
    Please could someone confirm if longer brake lines are required when fitting the 302 discs to an 850r ?
    If so, where is the best place ( and brand ) to buy them from ?

    I also need a pair of genuine Volvo rear discs and some pads. Will probably go standard pads for the rear and something like Ferodo ds2500 for the fronts ?
    Best deals around right now? Wondered if anyone had some good deals of late?

    Cheers

    No you don't need longer lines, I've never used longer lines on either of my cars with 302's, although, if you are putting new lines on then you may as well go for the longer ones.

    I had braided 280 lines on the Gul and they wouldn't have worked, but some standard ones were longer (280 again) but may as well go braided when you can if your happy they fit.
