Try Demon Tweeks http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... SAH0101-3P

I have them on my 2.7 and they made a big difference to the braking 'feel'.

Ignore the abs/non abs bollox, if you have rear discs you need the 6 line abs kit regardless of whether you have abs or not. If you have rear drums then you need the non abs 4 line kit.

You also need the type with an outer sleeve over the stainless braid, or your car could be deemed "unroadworthy" at some point.

I'm getting some on monday.

They do them for a fair few race cars, lots of motorsport companies here near Silverstone, quite lucky really. Back to the hoses, you can even choose what colour sleeve you want!!

I'll let you know what they are like when i have them.
