Title: Omega Goodridge Braided Brake Hose Kit, Any Good
Post by: Jim on 12 June 2008, 08:56:08
[size=12]I've been looking at these kits on ebay and I can't make my mind up if I should upgrade, has anyone else fitted them? and are they just a one for one swap or are there any other parts I need to change like the hose ends or do they just fit straight on to the omega front caliper's[/size]

They should fit without any other parts required.
I fitted them to my Mk2, and they are certainly "fit & forget"
The theory is I think: They don't expand under extreme braking hydraulic pressure.

Thats what I had heard, so should improve braking

You should get a harder pedal, which the Omega could do with to be honest ;)

Wont make any difference to pedal feel as the existing rubber hoses dont expand a great deal under braking anyway.
