<<Goodridge Brake Hoses>>

Tue Jan 11, 2005 8:08 pm

Anyone know a competetive place I can get some.

Brake hoses need replacing for the MOT so it's a good excuse to upgrade unless anyone has any bad experiences of them.

Try here - I drove one with them on and it felt much better to me - but there was a discussion recently which seemed to say they made things worse...

Whilst I think that avatar was great I've had to remove it. We do have some female members on here who may not approve!!

a local company was gonna make some for me. just needs some patterns. if you can get 1 front, 1 rear and a clutch slave cylinder pipe i can let him have them and see what comes back. i've no doubt they will be top notch. i used black diamond on my sri130 and they were spot on. well worth doing. we could even sell them on the zone. would be cheaper than everywhere i reckon as only paying cost!

Nice idea mate, I don't mind lending mine to copy if they come back in one piece. How much would he charge for them do you think?

Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:53 pm

i'll go and have a word tommorrow and let you know. (i need the thumbs up emoticon from the old zone)

Tue Jan 11, 2005 10:08 pm

i'd recommend them as they are spot on!!

improved feel, and ive only got them on the front, will be getting some for the rear soon!

cheers

Got mine from here http://www.proven-products.co.uk/
Fairly cheap (Ã‚£59 inc for the 6 line ABS kit, RRP is Ã‚£77+!) but I think someone on here got them slightly cheaper from somewhere else after I got mine

I've got them on the track car... made a LOT of difference... my original pipes were knack'd though...

Mark, I'd be interested in hearing more about the bad experiences?? I had them on the sport and the difference between them and the touring was huge!

Tue Jan 11, 2005 11:35 pm

And i'm thinking of it seeing as brakes are my main attention at the moment

Wed Jan 12, 2005 8:57 am

Si - I drove Timrays white sport with them on, and obviously I was not driving one day to day then, but I had test driven about 12 at that point. The brakes on his were sooo much better it was untrue, much better feel and no sponginess at all...but I think it was Demlot who was saying he did not rate them to which I was surprised...

Wed Jan 12, 2005 11:03 am

Noticable diffrence when u put them on (and do put them on)
but use a brake fulid with a high boiling point

Wed Jan 12, 2005 1:09 pm

Decided today that I'm putting a set on mine. While the whole of the back end's off, it makes sense to do it now...

Will let you know how it goes...

Goodridge have a top reputation for their brake lines, any criticisms ive heard heard of relating to installing braided lines have always been b'cos of difficulties bleeding them, not the quality of the product.

Tue Jan 18, 2005 10:13 pm

Put some on mine to get through my MOT and didn't really notice that much difference, but i do still need the two at the very back as i only got a 4 piece kit, stupid idiots at Demon Tweeks telling me i didn't need 6, so that could make a difference.

have a word with Ian Godney

I was looking into this as-well, the only 'bad thing' I could find about using braided hoses was they don't last as long as rubber ones. I think the recommended replacement time given was 18months for normal use cars... might be BS though.

They should last a lot longer, they're stainless aren't they?

I got mine from POTN afew weeks ago. Although fairly competativly priced the delivery times were appauling, nearly 3 months!.
A company called "Need For Speed" offer the kits with a choice of anodised or stainless ends too, but are abit more expensive.

And Goodridge are guaranteed forever, or at least thats what it says on the box!

Thats what I would have thought, I can't remember where I read it though. Hell if they have a lifetime warranty, go with it anyway. If they break, get a new set free:)
