many places have them. most brake kits do. ecs tuning do tyhem separately. note also that it means draining the fluid out, and putting new fluid in.

I've tried to get hold of braided lines mine but unfortunatly nobody seems to do them off the shelf for a face lift, goodridge do them for pre-fl's.

I know there are a few people that have had sets made up as one off's but nobody has kept the template to make any more, the only way I can get a set for mine at present is to take them off and take them into Hi-Spec and get them made up with all the correct fittings on but I've not had the time to take the car off the road to do it yet

Guess I may have to wait for MRC's supplier to deliver then ... at least I won't have to take mine off to get them this way!

Why is it always when I decide to do something I find I want it in a rush?!?! :shock: :roll:

Rich it is so easy to make these up yourself, you could just buy the braided hose and fittings from Goodridge - sure they would help you to identify all the parts you would need. I used to do this on my cars years ago and all the teams make their own, a no brainer IMHO. If you decide to go this route email me and I will help.

:shock: Now, its one thing me messing around with stuff that if it fails will stop me going fast, but to mess with something thats gonna stop me just plain scares me!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have to say MRC's price was very reasonable I thought.

viperbl,

You could try giving Merlin Motorsport at Castle Combe a bell:

I know they do Goodrich hoses, but not sure if you'd need to go in, which would obviously be tricky for you.

Goodridge do them for the Facelift. You need the set marketed for the Avant. There was a guy on ebay who used to sell them.

I gave goodridge the Pattern from my OEM facelift lines as only had pre facelift and weren't sure if the same, had fronts modified for my Cayennes extra 6". Turns out the prats forgot to keep notes on the measurements so making it a bit harder. Not complaining though got all 6 with custom fronts and all stainless ends for £35.

Black diamond list them for the S4. Package stated MY2000. Fronts fitted fine on to my at the time stock calliper the rear lines however were about 3" short hardly any slack and borderline passed my MOT. so swapped them for the goodridge lines.
