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
Chris

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)
