I'm not sure why Goodridge sell they're kits as 6 line kits for cars with ABS only, there is no difference between hoses on an ABS car and a non ABS car, seems they've got some duff info from somewhere, as the guys quite rightly point out above, cars with rear discs regardless to wether they have ABS or not, require the 2 extra hoses.

Thanks for the help I will try to send them back and get the 6 hose kit.

Its a good job I bought the wrong size brake spanner home from work or I would have fitted the front ones whilst doing my suspension and bushes. They propible wouldn't take them back after they've had brake fluid through them.
