Steel braided brake lines. Where can i get them?

[momento1]

anyone know where i can get steel braided brake lines for fronts and rears for an S2 coupe?

moreso the rears as the stock lines are starting to look crappy..

Goodridge brake lines are way to go. I did mine early this year on my RS2 and they are awesome. I asked also here before i ordered them and most people suggested them. I live in Germany and orderd them direclty from Goodrige in UK.

I have read stories on here regarding braided brake lines that were not particularly awesome? IIRC a guy from Germany experienced a collapsed brake line not long after he had been on a track with the car.

I had Goodridge on my coupe quattro and did not notice a difference at all, no firmer pedal feel or less pedal travel.

Goodridge dont have a kit for the coupe as far as I know.

But you could also get them made by HEL

I know he says he is 4x4, but he does rally prep for many cars, and the hoses are excellent and good value:

http://www.thinkauto.com , they made hoses up for one of my cars and were excellent. I simply gave them the failed hoses as a pattern and 15 minutes later walked out with a new set.
