Hi,
Im just about to order one of these sierra hose kit thingy´s.
I have discs on the rear, would it still be the standard sierra hose kit?
Or would i have to order the 6 line cossie one´s?

Regards,
Dario

check the length as the mine were longer than sierra

Assuming that you are using the Sierra back axle, so IRS, then you will need six, (6), flexible hoses. 2 at the front, and four at the rear. The length should be OK using the standard Sierra ones, but don't quote me on that, I think you will need to have a measure up first. HTH Ray

Yes im using sierra IRS rear axle...

...but why the need of 4 at the back?

i would assume :

1 at each caliper
1 at each inner joint of the wishbone.

If you are building an IRS 7 type car then just 4 needed, long ones!

I used front landrover 110 jobbies all around, these are cheaper !

Oh...Just had a quick look at the book where there´s a picture of the axle, now the 6 hose makes sense in the sierra but has said by Mark above no need in a 7 type car.
I guess ill have to rely on that hint you gave me Mark...as there is a gap of 1.6k miles between me and the car right now, so measurements are bit dificult to perform at the moment to have some customs one´s made...

Im building an IRS car and used the 4 line kit with the flexis between the chassis and the swing arm and went straight into the caliper with the solid pipes.

According to my mechanic friend there is no problem doing this just makes changing the pads a nightmare, given my kit will only be used on road on good
