Anyone know any good links for Braided Brake Hoses that will be a simple fit for the Fabia VRS MK2 (plenty of links for MK1?)

 

I have EBC's brakes but they dont have MK2 listed so i am thinking the Polo 6R hose kit should fit. Are they any other cheaper alternatives?

Its a bolt with a hole/channel in the middle to flow fluids down e.g brake fluid :-)

What's the benefit to fitting these?

Stainless braided lines are stronger and do not expand under pressure so can give a firmer brake pedal

Possibly overall less spongy as long as you maintain Calipers / Pads /  Bleed Fluid etc..  as well

Everyday meandering around driving may not notice much

Spirited & track driving may notice more, a lot of people go for braided when going to 'bigger' braking systems,

 

Im getting mine ready for track day next year, so it will complement the EBC's & redstuff pads, plus im swapping the red calipers for green ones (when i get round to painting them) so braided hoses is a not too expensive upgrade
