so Both front hoses show signs of "utho" and "oh crud" at the same point on the braid/hose. But the rears are "ok" ,, sounds as if there could be
a/ front hoses not Quite the right length, OR the angle of the banjos on the end isnt Quite right
b/ "fred the crimper" had a bad day ? missed 2 ends (going on the narrowing of the bore at the point of failure / impending failure)
c/ manuf issue the braid is the correct length, the internal fluid transfer hose is the right length, the Mid layer of protection Is slightly short ,,
PRODUCT CODE: SVV0702-4C-BK Could be the part number for the goodrige hoses
100% with you on the "feel" of brakes with/without braided hoses, With its a "constant" feel without "squishy and mushy" even with perfectly bled calipers. it isnt a placebo at all, being able to use Two fingers on a motorbike front brake and Feel what is happening V "use four and squishy" has been proven to me and many others many times.
Try 6pot calipers on fully floating disks on a 750cc hypersports bike With rubber hoses Then goodrige,
goodrige = win (when you peel your eyeballs off the inside of your visor)
