Where do you guys get bits like braided brake hoses and performance pads from?

I'm in Kingston, Surrey fwiw

Mods - Could we maybe get a supplies stick thread of similar ?

Undergroundstyling - I emailed you last week about a vernier pulley but no reply, nice service!!

[hoshy]

As soon as the wages come in I'll be emailing about the braided hose.

Didn't realise gsf did the pagid pads. After the thread on Technical Help I'm gonna go for them over the Green Stuffs I was gonna get. I really need to do something about the soggyness of my brake pedal.

Jim...please accept my apologies. I'll chase this for you!

Or if you like, pm bmwgirlie. It's her company, I just help out when I can!

[gtechperformance]

Dont want to bombar this thread but we also do ATE power discs and Mintex C-Tech Racing Pads.

Anyone who has tried this combination will vouch for their quality.

Let us know your requirements

Maybe we could do a group buy on the braided hoses, fitting these alone makes a wonderful difference to pedal feel on the E30

[gtechperformance]

PPS, we will also beat any quoted price on PAGID ref above

Thanks

Hey stuart-can you give me a rough cost for the zimmerman discs with pagid fast road pads for my 1989 320i Touring (its the discs all round model

At the MOT the back discs were an advisory, so thought i may just upgrade..

Thanks

[gtechperformance]

Sorry, just checked and cant do Zimmerman and Pagid for your particular model.

PM me if you wish to discuss alternatives

I am up for some braided hoses. I was gonna get some anyway...

Stewart - how much are they, and how many would you need for a group buy ?

[gtechperformance]

Ive put this to our suppliers and will start a group buy once prices have been finalised.

Will probably be a minumum of 10 sets

Cheers

[Davenotouring]

I'd be interested in braided hoses, depending on price.

Will be needing uprated front discs and pads too in the not too distant future.

Thanks!

[gtechperformance]

Would Prefer you to give me 48hrs to agree prices with my suppliers then you can start a thread with all the details included.

Thanks

Ok no probs - will that will be the six line kit ?

[hoshy]

If it makes a difference then I'll just be wanting 2 hoses for my front calipers. Only have front discs

I spend 5 hours yesterday sorting out a virus on Becky's computer.

No excuse I know, but that's what happened.

Sorry for the lack of emails.

Don't think that putting 2 hoses on and leaving the other 4 as rubber will make any difference, need to replace them all to get the benefit. that, I won't be going for SS Lines personally. Seems like SS brakelines are a bad idea unless you are going to change them fairly regularly, like every 18 months.

[Simon13]

why do you have to change them every 18 months?

[Jos]

Hate it when I can't find the site I was reading on this... from what I can remember it has to do with dirt getting in between the braid and the Teflon inner, over time this grinds away at the Teflon and eventually you get a leak, because of the braid it is impossible to see this happening so they lines can look ok from the outside but can be knackered internally.

The other thing I think was mentioned was because there is less expansion in the hose itself it puts additional stress on the crimped ends of the hoses and these can fail over time.

If I find the site I will link it, it is ofc only 1 persons information, but I like to take all things onboard before deciding. I think if I were going for SS Lines I would ensure they are clear plastic covered over the braid, and get the highest working pressure ones I could find.

I just figured the only ones to change were the two rubber sections connecting each caliper.

*digs for the haynes manual kept next to the bed

[Jos]

There are 2 rubber link lines connecting the fixed lines from the car body to the lines on the rear trailing arms as-well, serious buggers to get at.

Heres a picture of mine with the diff removed, and yes they are cut

[hoshy]

cool. can't see the pic though. maybe need to change IMG for img

[Jos]

Hmm, works ok here.

I was mentioning the article I couldn't find about SS Lines, I found it:

[hoshy]

Any news on these? Group buy?

[Splondike]

Hoshy - I pm'd them but had no response...

[hoshy]

shame, I was looking forward to having a reason to get the toolbox out.
