190 brake hoses

TerryT-J · 10th May 2011, 12:30

I've got most of the bits I need now to convert my ZT-T 180 front brakes to 190 spec. What I would like to knw is do I really need to change the flexible hoses or will the ones alrady on the car fit ok? I have read it on here somewhere, but cant't find it! Couldn't find my way out of a paper bag!

You're right you've seen it on the forum, as some people have said the hoses become stressed on full lock. However when it came to fitting mine I had no such problem and there was plenty of length on either lock each side, but to be safe I would order some in case they are different on your ZT. But as far as I know we should have the same front hoses - as my old brakes are the same as your current ones.

Have done a brake upgrade myself, im sure the hoses for the 190 brake upgrade has a blue marking on them, what would make a big difference is using Goodridge brake hoses, their superb

190 hoses are slightly longer, but your better off useing Goodridge hoses instead as they improve the 190 brake upgrade beyond recognition
