Brake lines for s3- Do these look right?
« on: August 04, 2011, 12:22:56 pm »
Afternoon chaps,

I'm going to pic up a set of s3 brakes at the weekend from a lovely chap on here.

The brake lines are not included so what would your advice be on the matter?

I've been quoted £24 each for standard lines, but I believe that braided ones aren't that much more?

Are they worth it? Arghh  :scared: :chicken: :popcornsoda:

Thanks, :)

Nick

Not worth it IMO. Standard lines are fine to be honest!

I got mine from euro carparts.

Approx £15 each.

Probably find a discount code somewhere too.

Pagid so a decent make and looked very well made.

They look ok. Have your brakes got the Z shaped hard line on them?
