Raised by how much?
--- Quote from: ben_haynes on May 25, 2008, 19:14:50 ---i was looking at Goodridge, how long would you reccomend for the Brake hoses, the suspension is +2" springs and shocks and then the -2" lowering turrets and plates and i will put rear spring retainers on as they do pop out regularly

That sounds like in the order of a 2.5" greater drop in height when you take into accout the differance in turrets and the part numbers Paddocks list for +2" procomps are more like +2.5" extended length. By which logic just beacues +2 hoses are fine on Baz's 90 doesn't mean they will be ok on your RRC Ben.
One point to bear in mind is especially with certain bushes in the radius arms you front suspension won't necesserily flex to the limit of the dampers travel. Considering they cost the same them its probably worth getting +4" to be on the safe side if your going to use extended dampers with lowered turrets. From experiance +4" hoses will sit quite happily with just a 1.5" lift if you possition them right when you put them on*.
*that goes for fitting any brake hose. A friends braided brake pipes failed during an emergancy stop beacuse the tyre kept rubbing on them when on full lock and wore through one of them.
ben_haynes:
i did think that i should be putting +4 hoses on, i have not ordered them yet, i will make some retaining brackets just to be on the safe sides
