Hi All

I am soon changing my MY98 2 pots to MY00 4 pots. I am also looking to change to braided hoses.

Question

As most retailers sell them as a kit of 4 hoses is there any difference between the 2 pot and 4 pot braided hoses?
Will I need to buy seperate hoses for the different front and rear brakes?

Cheers

Neal

No!

The 2 pot and 4 pot hoses are the same. (The braided hose kit will fit 4 and 2 pot brakes front and rear)

Get some decent fluid at the same time (its not expensive). You'll have to blead the system anyway if your doing the hoses, so its the ideal time to do it all
