Braided brake lines.

**2ltrT** · 29th August 2006, 22:14

...are these available for the vecci c? I'd like to improve the feel of the brakes, and I thought braided hoses would be a good way of doing it.
I have searched the net and cant find any for the vectra c..

i foned a few salvage yards today too, for some big front calipers, off a gsi.... only to endup arguing that there is a 3.2 v6 vectra!... he actually started to convince me these isnt a 3.2 lol.

anyway... braided hoses... does anybody know if these available?

not yet they are a work in progress

Mark (the Cabby) has the only set in the country at the moment. Have a word with him, but I think he had to beg.

Don't forget you'll need the discs to go with the calipers

**plasma** · 29th August 2006, 22:33

yes, discs would be good, I do believe there are probs with the design of the braided hoses. I'll try to find out more later.

I would also change the fluid to Dot 5.1 Racing for a better feel. Quite a good improvement

Try Courternay.

You keeping it then?

ESP Design should be able to help however it doesn't specify which VX can have the hoses.

But they do brake kits for Vectra C

Abbott Motorsport do the hoses and again I don't know if they'll fit a Vectra C/Signum (still waiting for an email back)
