Just a quick question...

[Woppywop]

Did the DC5 come with braided brake hoses?

I see people talking about 'getting braided hoses' however, when taking my calipers off we noticed I already have them?

Like I said just a quick question, thanks.

No. They would be just black standard lines. These are ok but perish after a while which is why people change them. Plus because of track days too.

 

[davidpingu]

No they will have been added by a previous owner I'd have thought. Common mod on these cars though. Normally one of the first things people suggest along with lowering springs and an FRSU

 

[Woppywop]

Well that's another for 'mod' list (I'm taking full credit for that, even it would of been done in Japan )

Thanks for the responses chaps, appreciate it!

What brand lines? Goodridge > Hel.

 

[wj51fut]

I have had Goodridge lines fitted for about 4 years. No problems yet.

TGM's for me.

 

[blueguy]

I have had Hel brake lines for a few years with no issues. However if I ever needed to change I would get a set of TGM lines.

TGM lines are the only ones (that are used by many) where I have heard of absolutely no issues; and they're made by Mocal IIRC

 

[Bonito]

Off the head how much are TGM's?

 

[dotty]

£50-60 iirc.

• Mocal oil coolers specifically for DC5/EP3 fitment
• brake packages e.g.
  2 piece AP Racing discs (with custom bells) for use with OEM calipers
• BBK - Brembo F50 calipers with 2 piece Brembo discs (with custom bells)

Tom doesn't compromise on the quality of parts he provides. Some parts will of course be made to order.

 

[davidpingu]

I couldn't believe how cheap he stocks rear pads for too. £20 for Pagid rear pads

 

[Bonito]

Would Pagid be an OEM replacement or better?

Fairly sure they are an oem alternative. The rear brakes aren't really worth fussing about with from what the track warriors on here say

That's my reasoning. If I can get OEM for £20 then why not!
