the current hose has a metal end which can get stuck , only if they needs to be replaces is it worth upgrading...unless of course you spend many hours on track.
 
And of course if you're a style-whore you can get the HEL lines in the same colour as you're Clio :wink:

i rather the black ones that looks like the oe ones.
so in the annual inspect test they wont notice there is something that is not "approved" .
(dunno if its ok in the uk)

Lets not start this again- some believe with a remap and a black diamond badge the HEL brake hose adds 15HP.

PS i was with chris at Beanie sport yesterday - we discussed why you should not use too harsh brake pads. HA HA HA

Never read anyone saying that, ever.

I got mine from Kam Racing and they offered them in a range of colours so I got them the same colour as my Clio.

I got mine in purple just coz it was a wild colour! However my local Renault dealer fitted them when car was in for a service & routed the front ones badly so they rubbed & would've failed MOT. Had to get original Renault ones put on for a quick fix for this, but still have my funky purple rear lines.

I think he’s going soft... trying to talk me into not getting ds1.11!!
 
He showed me why.....he has a white clio and the heat from his aggressive pads have turned his white alloys yellow and ruined a bit of his paint work....unless it's a dedicated track car he said ds2500 is plenty good enough.

Fair point. I just like to have the best I can afford and with a few more trackdays on the horizon might benefit from more stopping power over looks.
Cheers for the brake lines @Sean197
Oh look... Blue ones:wink: 0326E64A-E1D7-481B-BBE7-DE99BB1CD44C.jpeg
