Hi there guys,

I’ve recently bought a 306 GTi front brake setup for my saxo vts. It consists out of callipers, disks and pads. As you know it is a 283mm setup which will be a great upgrade comparing to a standard 247mm setup that I have at the moment.
Regarding that conversion I need your help…
The biggest issue is about the length of the hoses. Some people say that I might need to buy longer ones, and others say that the saxo’s ones are just long enough.
So can you tell me your opinion and what do you think about “Exact” hoses from Kamracing, will they do the job?

The standerd hose will fit and do the job but in reality it is too short.
When on full steering and/or suspension travel the hose will pull tight and stretch.
Eventualy this will lead to hose failure and loss of brakes.which isnt realy something you want happening.
As for exact lines i also supply them but in the correct length for the caliper afaik kam only do the standerd ones
