I don't think it makes any difference if you have ABS or not ABS or if you have discs as opposed to drums. From what i can see on the ETK, all e30s have 6 flexbale hoses.

I think Goodridge must have made a mess up

thanks guys
you buried this question once and for all it seems
ABS is a red herring
the real thing is disc or drum at rear
actually ordered of Demon Tweeks they was not too sure i remembered when i placed the order

You def. need 6 hoses - there are 4 on the back - 2 on susp. arms and two on axle carrier. yoiu can get them from Proven Products, 01822 613200 (Genuine Goodridge)
4 hose set (useless) = Ԛ£37.50, 6 hose set = Ԛ£49.95. P&P Ԛ£5.95
they gave me part number SBW 0011-4 but said to specify 6 hose set when ordering. HTH

nope, makes no odds what you have, you still need 6 hoses as said, 2 for the front, 2 for the back and 2 for the trailing arms where they meet the rear subframe.
