braided brake lines

Post by rosshyslop » Tue Feb 26, 2008 5:49 pm

What are the best type and where to get a set of stainless steel braided brake lines? My front brakes are from the B6/7 S4, will this matter?

Cheers

I am looking at doing my own braided lines for the front, as and when someone can post me an original rubber one to take the pattern from.

Do you want FULL stainless lines (eg inc fittings and banjo bolts etc) or stainless lines with BZP fittings and bolts.

BZP are at least 4 times cheaper then Stainless.

If you are thinking about the 4 at the rear, make the outer ones to the caliper longer than the originals in case you go to the S8 rear brake upgrade in the future.

Forgive my ignorance but what are banjo bolts and BZP fittings?

BZP = Bright Zinc Plating

Banjo bolts connect banjos to calipers(if thats how they bolt)

How much longer would you request the rear outer hoses to allow for S8 rear brake upgrake ?
