well i'd be checking there first, at least you know they will be good quality...


how much is that $20 you saved buying cheap hoses going to matter when you're in a ditch :lol:

not even pricing them up is madness 8O even if they are expensive, we have out own rep on this board that hooks us up 8)

how inconvenient haha , i just wasnt sure weather the price i was quoted was overpriced or not, but it sounds about right from what your saying,

This place doesnt stock them but will make them for me plus ive got the old ones just so they get it right.

i hear complience places like nice new brake parts so thought i would make life easy for me and them
