Braided = No brainer to me


More expensive? not like you run a Chimaera coz it's a "budget" sports car smile



pretty sure they're neither Cortina nor Sierra items

Hi there, they're supposed to be sierra callipers, so should be sierra hose as well, saying that i fitted a set of braided hoses yesterday after doing the fluid reservoir, but that was a set marked up as for a Chimaera, to me if your changing them it makes sense to upgrade for not a lot of money, cheers hope this is some help

Unless of course the Sierra had completely different suspension and used a shorter hose? whistle
