Differences in rubber brake hoses from parts stores? Need answers quick!
I am trying to figure out why my front brakes SUCK and jerk to the right. I noticed at Advance Auto they list a performance and a non-performance front rubber hose. Is the performance one the 1LE or something else? I just have a run of the mill 91 Z but wonder if these performance ones will (a) work on my car and (b) have any positive braking effect?
Thanks!
Thanks!

the "performance" ones are the 1le hoses, they are a different length and have a slightly different banjo fitting. They will make no difference in the performance of the brakes however.

Picked up everything this morning; Ordered online from Advance Auto using their coupon code "LC123"; Saved me ***40%*** off regular price. Bought both hoses, a new p/s caliper and the stupid clips (just in case). The driver side hose installed exactly as oem, the pass side didn't have the molded in stop for the brackets; it used these stupid "C" clips/washers. Wierd...

I just insalled the Advance Auto stockers on my 91 z. Problem solved. I do not know about the long run, but, for now they work fine. Randy
