I think Joe (Triggerfish) had some custom lines made up for his 4 pot callipers Ben. Maybe worth checking his thread or PM'ing him. I cant seem to find it at the moment but im sure I saw it there.

I drew a blank from what I can remember :( I think they're banjo ones though, but I honestly can't remember for sure.

I got mine from silicon hoses - http://siliconhoses.com/brakeindex.asp. If you just say you're after a set for a standard 6n2 GTi they should be able to make something for you. I've still got mine, but they'd be too long for use with standard callipers :( Hoping they'll work on my e30, otherwise it's a big waste of ££!

Mine were £56 I believe, and I got to choose a colour 8) , not that you want to hear that!

Notice any difference with them? (I changed the whole system at the same time, so not sure what change came from which part.)
