in all fairness - even with burst hose, pupmping the brake pedal made the difference as by every pump there was like split-second of other pads engaging, before pressure drop but it wasnt case of 2 independent circuits I think.

Andy - yes, quality or design issue may be the answer, but lenght-wise those are identical to OEM (425mm measured). Thing is, being more stiff it may need that extra few mm to prevent bending OR it just didnt like my bigfoot-like suspension travel, even though its totally stock. Maybe if my car was lowered it wouldnt happen, same as I doubt it could happen to normally suspended FWD.

Ianmd - looking at ATE spec it actually looks like connections are identical, difference only in lenght. Not sure if thats true but just looks like it (well 100% 411mm and 425mms are identical, physically compared).

Hi Did you get to the bottom of this as I have a set of Black Diamond hoses ready to fit to my S60 D5,
Thanks Dave
