Hi guys, I have a quick question for you. Does a kit with stainless-steel brake hoses thats for a Leon 180hp fit my LCR?

Or does the LCR have stainless-steel brake hoses original? :/

Not in my experience!! - when I did the brake mod for my LCR, Goodridge very kindly made up special hoses for the front set for me - the good bit is that the design will do both the standard or the larger 993 calliper

The 180 cupra hoses will not fit the LCR - the standard LCR hoses are not stainless - as far as I know no one at present does a stainless kit for the LCR though I could well be wrong in saying that

However I shall shortly be back onto Goodridge, and will give them my findings with regards to the experimental kit they made for my LCR - then you should be able to get hoses from them for the LCR:)

I've got stainless hoses, got them from Bill (Ibizacupra) for my Brembo's made to measure i believe.
"made to measure" U mean that they were home made? (From sweden, so my english skills are not at top :) )

You can place your order with Bill right now in complete confidence - the product will be A1 - that is what to do to be quick:)

Is there any real performance gain out of these or is it purely cosmetic? Surely it would make changing the discs a hassle (especially the front). You would have to disconnect the pipe every time (well not that often depending on how you break :) )
