Anyone know? there's some black diamond ones on ebay at £71 but I thought people always used to fit the earls ones but cant find them anywhere.

also there's a place in shirebrook that can make them up for you to whatever length/diameter you need.

forgot to add, he does then in braided steel only, no crappy rubber to perish.

Where ever you find them, ignore anything about ABS / non ABS cars. E30s need a four line kit for cars with rear drums, and a six line kit for those with rear discs. It's true that cars with ABS will always have rear discs, but there are plenty with rear discs that don't have ABS.
You'll find the hoses under 'performance parts'. £97.86 - £15 discount (if you buy a filter or similar to make the order up to £100. This is off of the ECP sister site, carparts4less BTW.

There are 2 versions of the goodridge ones - the cheaper of the two have zinc plated fittings which will tarnish fairly quickly - if you want true paedo spec you need the more expensive ones with stainless fittings. :D

Thanks, I've found the goodridge ones but as you say the 6 line kit for the front and rear, and I only need rear, still I should be able to move them on easy enough.

Now what other shiney bits to add to the order....

Make your own . You can buy the ends and hose from merlin motorsport or rally design.

Earl's Ebay link shows nothing. They haven't updated it.

How are these for quality, the price is better:
