Kam Racing have offered Goodridge Braided brake hoses for
Goodridge hoses we can do the zinc plated kit for £42 + P&P and the stainless fitings for £50 + P&P. Postage would be £3 to UK addresses - if anyone wants it to go elsewhere let me know and I'll work out some shipping costs..
Payments would have to be via a direct bank transfer as some of the savings are from us not having to pay credit / debit card transaction fees..
If people wish to pay by Paypal I don't mind sorting out the bank transfer.
I've previously arranged 2 other successful group buys, I’m no scammer Last edited by CD-B3 on Thu Jun 24, 2010 5:03 am; edited 14 times in total

I'm able to get Goodridge Braided Brake hoses for £39.99 + P&P
does that mean the 39.99 includes the p&p, or 39.99 and then more for p&p?
Yay! Goodridge do orange
sounds a bit iffy though.. found this on my google searching

addition, most steel braided brake lines do not pass the
DOT tests and therefore technically illegal for street
use.

You can DIY if you know how to bleed your brakes as you'll need to replace the brake fluid.
I'll be taking mine to a garage for peice of mind, only will be ½'s labour or so.

Sounds like he's had a bad experience with some.
However these are braided, woven, which have plenty of flex, I can tell you this due to owning some a while back.
Rubber hoses expand when braking & degrade over time.

If rubber hoses gave spongey pedal feel would they fit them to pretty much every car? If they were that poor wouldn't the manufacturers spend an extra few quid and fit braided hoses?
Buy some braided hoses if you want some that look better but don't buy them if you think they will give better braking.

Do you not have them on yours?
#11: Re: Goodridge Braided Brake Hoses - Group Buy Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri May 14, 2010 9:41 am ---- I do have them and they make no difference at all. You'd have to be driving your car on track and using the brakes as hard as possible all the time to see any difference.
Also there's no point in getting stainless hoses with zinc coated fittings. You'll need stainless fittings too which cost extra.

Thanks for the input, I'm judging interest on what would be a good upgrade. Its soley down to the buyers choice now.
#13: Re: Goodridge Braided Brake Hoses - Group Buy Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Fri May 14, 2010 9:59 am ---- It's the fact that the Goodridge brake lines are thinner and don't expand (losing pressure) that are the 'plus points', surely?
The brake fluid is forced into the brakes quicker - therefore making the brakes more effective by being able to work sooner.
Before & after my brake hose replacement:
I have to say that it was a worthwhile purchase for my car.

Nope, the walls of the rubber hose are thicker but interally they are the same.

The braided hoses look so much better than the rubber ones [and not likely to be cut by vandals/chavs/jealous rivals etc]
