Braided hoses

[Cb_newbie]

Hi,
Does anyone know of anywhere who supplied braided brake hoses for the MK7 at all ?......looking around the net, the latest i can see is Mk6 kits.

Reason im asking is, im after a cost-effective way of improving braking performance

cheers

I got mine direct from hel just over a year ago, paid about £70 inc. postage.

hmmmm cheers mate - was there a noticable improvement in braking ??

Definately, far better than the standard hoses when driven hard, much more predictable feel every time the pedal's pressed (if you do fit some, make sure the engine's running when you bleed them up or it'll feel a bit spongy, something to do with power assisted brakes i think)

wicked, cheers mate - i was hoping that theyd make a noticable difference .....recon when my front pads are up for replacement, ill stick a pair of mintex ones in & a set of braided hoses

......ta for the pointer, i wouldnt trust myself with brakes tho, itl be going to my mates garage

Stick some decent fluid in them too! Can't go wrong with HELs I had them on my clio...top product for the money!
