they will leave you going round in circles on their own.

Hi Brian,
Re the dustguards, just flatten out your current ones with a pliers or similar, no need to replace. Also, I might have a set of "used but good" braided lines for you soon, just need to take them off my car ;-)
They are linked off this thread I think

No, just the fronts (the hard to get in braided form ones).
