Title: Goodridge brake hoses?
Post by: Yoxubarl on 05 June 2007, 21:40:57

Does anyone happen to know if Goodridge (or any make of braided hose) hoses would make any difference to braking performance, please? Assuming something like this isn't fitted as standard to an MV6, that is.
I've been toying with the idea of braided hoses and some AP600 or Castrol SRF brake fluid (if i can afford it) if that's not too terribly mad. I should pretty much change the brake fluid anyway as i don't know when it was last done but had the idea of using something better and pondered better fluid and hoses.

Just wondering and thank you for any thoughts :)

Not something I've done, not sure its something the car needs, unless converting for track use?

The crappy discs and pads I have on aside, I have never had any significant brake fade on the MV6...

Steinmetz list a set throgh Rossiters. Can't remember how much though.

They do make a slight difference to pedal feel ut not really enough to justify it over the standard set up.

I fitted one to a GS250T and it made the lever firmer

 :-? i have goodrich hoses on my v6, snazzy red ones to boot.They dont make any diffe :-/rence to the  pedal at all.I changed mine due to slight leek at joint,up grading the fluid will also make little diff on a road use basis.
