Me finally took the plunge! Had the Pro-RS hoses installed!
Here are some pics to share...
Pics above show Front NEW Pro-RS SS Braided hoses installed.
These are pics of the Rear Pro-RS hoses.
Verdict after installation? The mechanic came back with a great smile. First time he has installed such brake hoses on a car! And told me the brakes were
GREAT!
On my way back home, I tested the brakes myself...YUP! The brakes now really
BITE!! Worth my $$ spent!
Now the only question remaining is... how long will these Pro-RS last? My ole originals are already 15 years and still good when taken off just now...of course, the feel is kinda spongy compared to the Pro-RS now... :P
Like most ppl hv told me...Life is enjoying the moment! And me am really enjoying my newly found braking confidence....haha! :D
A Point to Ponder...maybe a
manufacturing tolerance issue?
Yup...my mech had a little prob fixing the front hoses from the shock absorbers to the inner walls of wheel arches. Holes in brackets a bit too small for the connector heads to pass thru and had to be ground/filed slightly!
However, no such prob with rear hoses & their brackets tho. Wonder why the difference in size?
