Hi guys not sure if in the correct place! Quick question i`m going to replace my brake lines are the fronts the same as the back there not UK brakes there just n/a brakes! Not sure if there's a difference!

What's the difference in braided and stainless? Is there a preference!!

If you are replacing the hoses you'd best get, beforehand a set of hose clips as well because the ones you take off will likely be so corroded you wont want to be putting them back. Forgotten the size of the clips but you can get that info somewhere else or measure one you take off. The cheapest by far place I found for the clips is:

Because the hose clip is the same as used on one of Toyotas 4X4 range. I actually bought lots of sets and sold the surplus really quickly for a profit on eBay which more than covered the cost of the clips I used on my own car. Everybody loves eBay

The clips look like this:

If its not been done do a fluid change at the same time

Cheers guys the clips are really good and are like new as the car has only just come into the country! The brake lines and connectors also look very new but just wanted to put better ones on!
