    S60 336mm brake upgrade advise

    Hi all, I am currently upgrading my s60 brakes to the xc90 336mm brakes and I am struggling to find the correct brake hoses , I have seen plenty of threads of people doing the upgrade but can't see anything on brake hoses. I am looking for braided lines for the front and rear but do not know what length of hose I need for the front. The standard brakes on the car are 286mm so I am guessing there is no way my current hoses are long enough for 50mm bigger brakes.
    I have spoken to the likes of hell and goodridge and the only thing they will tell me is that the threads on either end are the same on both cars but they do not have the lengths of the hose listed on their system for some reason.
    Does anybody know if there is a kit already available for all 4 corners and if there isn't what hoses do I need for the fronts? The rear end is standard and should be easy to find.
    Thanks

    According to this post: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...75&postcount=5
    and this post: https://forums.swedespeed.com/showth...ade-components

    you should be able to use the old hoses. So the braided S60 front hose should work, maybe go for the bigger wheel hose option.
