Opionons wanted please.....

Are they worth it just for longer-life, fit and forget...

Do they offer any better or worse feel to the brakes...

Quite a few people should have these.

As much detail as possible required from me aswell - Im looking to fit them on Touring.

got a set of the goodridge hoses on my touring,theyre meant to increase the breaking in hard use by stopping any bulging that you get with rubber hoses,especially old ones when you stamp on the pedal hard.couldnt really say if i noticed that much difference with just the hoses as i uprated the discs and pads at the same time.certainly looks nicer though 8)

They only do anything when the fluid gets really hot - stops the pedal getting long from the hoses bulging
But you wont notice much difference under normal use

I had them on my 325i, but havent bothered putting them on the 318is - I will when I track it though

BTW 6 line kit is for all rear disc cars, and 4 line for the others NOT 6line ABS 4 line non-ABS as Goodridge say

Oh another note, AXA insurance cancelled my policy when I told them my 325i had braided hoses!?! :roll:
Cheers,
Robin
