Braided Hoses for V6 Calibra

Does anyone have braided hoses fitted to their v6?

If so

what make and part number did you use?

Can only find goodridge kits for 16v and turbo. Can't understand why turbo ones wouldn't be for v6 aswell seen as they're same brakes :-s

Got them on the front, never got around to the rears as you need a male/female adaptor. No body makes them for the V6 so mine are for a 16v.

I got them from LMF.......

Any ideas on where to get the adaptors for the rear?

My main motivation is the fact the rear hoses need changing anyways

When i get a chance today i'm going to call lmf and if no luck there i'll call goodridge directly.

Whilst doing a google search i found an old clubcalibra.co.uk thread about this exact issue and the thread starter managed to get the convertors direct from goodridge for an extra £10.

If i have success i'll let you know and also try and get the part number for the convertor.

Well spoke to LMf and K300 ( a goodridge distributor) and neither of them can really help without a part number.

I've now sent goodridge an e-mail to see if they can provide the part number for the correct male to male adaptor.
