Goodridge hoses

[steveo]

Where is the cheapest place to buy goodridge braided hoses from and also which brake fluid do people recommend

[richy]

i got mine from www.motorsportworld.co.uk but it was a few year ago so prices have no doubt gone up!

you could also try k-tecracing.com, bbperformancetuning etc

as for fluid if you use your car just on the road then id proberly stick to dot 4 etc, if you do trackdays then pos look to change to a dot 5 etc with a higher boiling point etc etc, as said depends how you use your car!

demon tweeks, rally design... ebay..

not sure on the cheapest place.

if you do trackdays then pos look to change to a dot 5

If you are doing track days then steer well clear of DOT 5. It's DOT 5.1 you want.

Is there any disadvantage in putting DOT 5.1 in a road car? Gonna change mine to that when fit my braided hoses.
Put DOT 5.1 in my ST185 GT4 (known for bad brake fade) and it made a hell of a difference! Took a lot longer to fade.

One of them absorbs shit loads fo moisture real fast but forget whihc it is, think its dot 5

[BRUN]

their is a vast difference between Dot 5 and Dot 5.1

its vital to put Dot 5.1 and not just Dot 5, otherwise you will have people putting the wrong fluid in based on your advice

Dot 4 or Dot 5.1, personally id stick to Dot 4 Super, its Dot 5.1 spec nearly and doesnt absorb moisture as much so doesnt need changing as often

[stevie_b]

One of them absorbs s**t loads fo moisture real fast but forget whihc it is, think its dot 5

It's DOT5 that doesn't absorb the water - it is silicone based and so is not hygroscopic like other brake fluids. It means that you don't have to change it often but the brake pedal response is not as good as DOT 4/5.1 so you are unlikely to see it used in a track car.

Wilwood, AP Racing etc all recommend strongly against the use of DOT 5 :!:

[Lunner]

**** knows everyone is contradicting everyone else, can't remember what it actually is, as Brun says think i'll stick to the dot 4 super
