I'm changing my 256mm calipers + carriers to 280mm calipers and carriers and was wondering if my braided hoses will still fit? I'm no where near the car to check them out so was wondering if anyone knew if the connections were the same?

They're probably the same part

IIRC all the ibiza's from 1.0 to 2.0 with brakes from 239 to 280mm all ran the same OE hose

Cheers Mark, just had a fumble around in ETKA and I think they are different. The 256's on the Lupo say M12x1 and the 280mm on the Ibiza says M10x1 and the Ibiza one is longer but that was to be expected, so guess I cant use the same hoses :(
