    Rubber Front Brake Hose, Meyle is perfectly fine?

    I have replaced anything and everything in my 87 325ic with ONLY oem Supplier parts or straight OEM BMW.

    The last thing that I need to replace is the front rubber brake hoses (one on each side).

    All the rubber rear brake hoses I bought were Ate (OEM Supplier), however, the Ate for the front were crazy expensive for little hoses ($33 a piece) and OEM BMW were $55 a piece.

    With those outrageous prices for little hoses. I kept looking for a repubitble company and I came across Meyle front brake hoses for $8.32 each and with shipping it came $26.52 for both.

    I know parts such as control arms, get Lemforder as Meyle is not the same quality and will wear out much quicker.

    What about front brake hoses? There is not a lot of stress (I do not believe) in front brake hoses. Will I be perfectly fine with Meyle front brake hoses in performance compared to the oem Ate?

    Will I have the longevity in the Meyle compared to the oem Ate?

        I'm running meyle hoses in my track car and fun car. They're fantastic and will be just fine.

        Plus you can buy them from bmaparts and support a forum sponsor. Use spece30 and get a discount. Good times.
