Fitting R32 brakes
E30Dom:
Details of these lines please... ;-)

Offer is permenantly in the discounts section here - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,30570.0.html
We tend to be doing at least half a dozen sets of custom lines a day most weeks now for people changing brake systems to ones from other cars. We have all the listings for OEM specs so its not hard to work out whats needed other than sometimes a bit of extra length depending on where the new caliper mounts and where the hose sits, but in terms of VAG conversion hoses we are pretty sorted in that dept, and also supply the likes of Dave B from this forum with his lines for all the non-std kits he offers for the Mk5/6's....
Just drop us a pm if we can be of any help. :happy2:
Weston:
Thanks for the mention. I was advised that standard hoses would be more than capable :happy2:
Dubtek:
They will be and are I'm sure capable, but will still expand as with all OEM rubber hoses under pressure/load, causing 'spongyness' in the pedal. You dont get that in braided hoses as the teflon they are made with doesnt expand so you get firm pedal response all the time.
Not that many people keep their cars this long anyway but from a time point of view the rubber ones will last 4-7 years max before failing on corrosion (depending on where you live, ie near the coast) whilst ours and other braided hose manufacturers come with a lifetime warranty.
Not a sales pitch here btw, just stating the facts FYI :happy2:

I have an R32 Kit which i had on my previous car and i have put on my new car. It has OEM R32 Hoses and i certainly don't have any sponginess in the pedal. :confused:
I thought it was only beneficial to go with Braided Hoses & better fluid if you were tracking it a lot due to increase in fluid temps?
