IRS shouldnt make a difference in length as the brakes are effectively in the same position. I stand corrected on this though.


70 seems a touch on the long side?

Ah I have the short ones on the front and the Long on the back.. What is the correct way round?. My front ones turn from lock to lock and barely snag on anything... the long ones at the back can be hidden up so wont look bad as if the were on the front and then trying to loose the slack.

I have a set of velocity goodridge hoses from Luego that i'm not going to use. 2 long (57cms approx) and 2 short (50cm approx)

Should be right length have fittings on ends but no banjos or washers

Send me U2U if you would like to purchase
