   Does anyone know where i can buy new ones of these for rear disk setup? Just wanting to know out of curiosity, Citroen is an obvious answer but silly prices there.

   Depends on what you want.
   
   You could upgrade to braided hoses if you wanted to. ( Is this what you mean't? )
   
   Not too over priced at around £50 for some GoodRidge hoses. They come with a lifetime guarentee too.
   
   I got mine from A1 Motorstores, but every good car outlet should do them such as Demon Tweeks etc.

   Thanks Col, further to what you suggested ive just had a look on needforspeed website (Got my brake disks and pads from here-great service) and this is the selection ive found, they all seem around that price.
   
   What i dont get though (unless im a bit on the slow side tonight) is what does it mean with the Goodridge ones with SS or MS ends?? Whats the difference?

   Stainless ones won't rust. I'd go for the stainless ones.
   
   Not sure what Ive got to be honest!
   
   What setup have you got on the front Willsy? Dependent on that is whether you order VTS ones or not.
   
   The Mild Steel ones and Stainless ones have the exact same " Performance " anyway, like max brakage in system is 24 newton / metres. In the hose I mean, well thats what it says on my box!

   Front ones really dont matter to be honest, its just the rear that i need for sure.
   
   On the front im fitting this:
   
   As the rear is a VTS axle ill need the VTS lines/cables

   6 Pots??? NICE!
   
   IF you order some, then you will get a setup allround, i.e you will have 2 lines spare.
   
   I think you are to get the VTS ones, but ill be honest im not 100% sure. Its more than likely if you have a VTS rear beam.
