harrop 4 piston hsv brakes

[Lukey94]

hi guys, i recently purchased some harrop 343mm hsv 4 piston brakes for the front of my vz ss. I spoke to a bloke down at penrith brake and clutch and he said that I will need a custom hose made up for it to fit. Is this correct? because i was presuming I could just use the hoses that are already on my car at the moment? Cheers

Not sure about the Harrops but the HSV twins used the same hose as the stocker but if you fitted the later VT Holden stockers you had to change the hose, different length.
Just check how and where the hose bolts to the caliper.
If the Bango and bolt head look the same and the length/position is the same you could possibly use the same brake hoses.

They are different, go to Safe Brake for some braided ones. IMO that is where you'll notice the best braking difference anyway.

Brakes are all done, used my exisiting lines as they fitted, might go braided lines later but for now didn't see the point on spending $200. They work really good and look awesome!

They look good.
I was pretty sure you could use the same lines.
The difference between HSV and Holden hoses is only minor.
In fact I don't know why they bothered, probably just so they could give ii a HSV part number and charge more.
