I have a spare set of brand new stainless steel braided hoses (never fitted) for 4 disc R200/400, probably fits most Rovers and MGs. Easy to fit. Was £49 take £30. davewilliams220@yahoo.co.uk

The standard rubber hoses tend to expand slightly when you use the brakes, this expansion reduces the efficiency of the braking system, meaning you have to press harder to brake. The Stainless steel hoses don't expand and it makes the pedal firmer and brakes sharper.

Combined with a brake pad upgrade its the best way to improve your brakes!

Graham, Steve is correct I have them fitted to my coupe turbo, and they make braking feel better through the pedal. They don't stop you any quicker, it just feels you don't have to put quite as much effort in. Let me know if you are interested.:D
