unfortunately not, std hoses to compliment the crappy std pads

tbh ive not had a problem with break fade yet, perhaps thats cause i dont break hard enough

, might just leave it for the time bring as mmc will prob charge scarey prices......

It's not a fade issue. Then the standard hoses get hot they have a tendencey to expand a little when you brake really hard. I can't see this being an issue on the Exige as the servo will mask the effect totally. For those of us with the original braking system, it makes a difference to feel, not fade.

Changing the brake lines to steel ones does not require clam removal on any Elise I have worked on and I wouldn't think it any different on the S2 Exige.

Servo makes fitting steel hoses quite pointless though - which reminds me that my brakes are knackered ... must get that sorted!

Where do I get the air horns - they are clearly a must-have accessory

Cheers,
Robin
