Do classic brake hoses fit onto Brembos?
 
Just trying to gather info in advance, I've ordered a front set with all bolts required to fit, but was wondering if the hose/brake line will interchange?

Thanks

Yup.

Be better off with braided ones, if you don't already have them, though. :thumb:

It's on the (increasingly large list) :D

Do you know if a newage master cylinder would be worth doing by any chance?

Use some good brake fluid whilst you're there. I use motul rbf660. Other good fluid available too.

Some say yes, some say no. Having never personally done it, I wouldn't like to say.

Thanks again.

Have you got some newage STI alloys or equivalent 17s to fit over them Cookie?
The Brembos are a very worthwhile mod on a classic :)
The only downside is not many 17 inch wheels fit over them.
I would say try them first without the STI master cylinder but with braided lines.
Happy modding :)
Cheers John

I'm running 18s so hopefully they will fit, I've got some spacers that I can use as a temporary fit if I run into problems while I source aa different set.

I do fancy some newage 17s but they seem few and far between.

I've also got the gold brembos fitted with braided lines and good fluid. Still on the original master cylinder and the brakes are awesome compared to subaru 4 pots. Perfect for track days too. Wheels are rota gra 17's and they just clear. There are lists of what wheels fit somewhere on this forum.
