Audi S3 ones fit IIRC. Can't remember whether it's the earlier or later versions, but I suspect the earlier.

thanks bud , any ideas wheres best to get them from , can only find fabia or none vrs items

Goodridge audi S3 hoses are the ones you want (I have them fitted) - got mine from Keith at Alloy-Wheels.ie he knows the correct ones to order.

I tried using the Hel (octavia vrs mk1) hoses before getting the goodridge ones but they were too short up front and the Lugs (attachment for feeding through the shocks) were not right.

cheers dude , will get some ordered asap

The standard vrs items are braided anyway just have rubber coating ;-)

Are you sure?? Thought there was a post saying it was a myth?

one of the posts stated:

The rear hoses are not braided, they are just rubber with some metal pipe sections, crimped together. One of mine had to be cut to be removed, there was no braided part under the rubber.
