Default Flexy hose length

This has been asked before, so before I cut up some expensive hose what length are people using for the front hoses.

Cheers.

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.

I thought the same thing until I fitted mine,

Mine are fitted as per book suggestion for the mounting bracket on the U1 & U2 & are routed thru the GRP side panel & thankfully they don,t go near the wishbone at all even when on full lock .

Mine are 450mm, but if I was to fit them again I would use 460mm length .

cheers
